A painful story concluded today in court in Sassari, with the first degree of judgment. The defendant is a 56-year-old from Turin, who was accused of mistreatment and voluntary injuries against his ex-wife, which allegedly occurred in Sassari from 2014 to 2017. The injured party is a woman of Sardinian origin who, according to the indictment, was insulted and beaten on several occasions, sometimes even in front of the minor son of both.
The child then in 2017, and this episode substantiated the crime of malicious personal injury, would have been hit involuntarily with the car by the father while he was trying to protect his mother . The latter would also have received an explicit threat from the ex-spouse, again eight years ago, with the phrase: "You have to get out of this house, otherwise sooner or later I will kill you".
In the discussion the prosecutor had requested a sentence of 2 years and 3 months to which the civil defense represented by the lawyer Katia Cerulli had joined. The defense of the man, assisted by the lawyers Simona Todde and Gaetano Paoletti, developed what was partly exposed by the public prosecutor and relating to the conflictual relationship between the two spouses. Where in reality both the accusations and the insults would have been mutual, and underlining how the alleged mistreatment had not been confirmed because the medical certificates produced spoke of a prognosis of a few days . Judge Claudia Sechi ordered, this afternoon, the sentence of 1 year and 4 months with the benefit of conditional suspension of the sentence and reclassifying the contested crimes as injuries and threats . Finally acquitting the man of the charge of malicious personal injuries because the fact does not exist. The defense reserves the right, as soon as the reasons are filed, to evaluate a possible appeal.
