The start of the first of two final hearings, scheduled for today and tomorrow, in the first-instance trial in the Tempio Pausania court against Ciro Grillo, son of Beppe, and Francesco Corsiglia, Edoardo Capitta, and Vittorio Lauria, accused of gang rape, has been postponed until after noon. Sentencing is expected tomorrow, perhaps this evening .
Public Prosecutor Gregorio Capasso will speak immediately today for his replies, followed by lawyer Giulia Bongiorno, representing the Italian-Norwegian student , 19 at the time, who is the main accuser of the four. "Replies will be made extremely quickly because they only serve to refute the opposing party's arguments. I believe we are now in the final hours of this long trial. I don't know if my client will come to court, but I'll hear her now and we'll see," Bongiorno commented outside the courthouse.
