The lawyer Fernando Burlando, who represents the parents of Fernando Báez Sosa, referred this Wednesday to the defender of the accused, Hugo Tomei.
The lawyer for the eight accused rugby players had criticized Burlando for the frequent statements he usually makes in the media. The lawyer said that he will only speak in court “out of respect for the pain for the loss of a human life.”
Mockingly, he picked up the glove and replied: “No, I really don’t care what he says, what he does or what Dr. Tomei works on.”
Fernando Burlando spoke regarding the trial for the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa
The lawyer for the victim’s family pointed out that “there is a lot of Fernando’s blood tissue, that allowed us to make a connection, this means neither more nor less than ratifying what we see in the images. This proves the contact, it is indisputable, it is irrefutable,” the lawyer told the press at the door of the Dolores courts, where the debate is taking place.
“It is more than confirmatory data, very forcefully, that the defendants have Fernando’s blood on their hands, on their clothes,” added Burlando, who mentioned the presence of DNA from rugby player Blas Cinalli “on the little finger of his left hand ” of the victim and “blood tissue” by Báez Sosa “exclusively in the shoe” by Máximo Thomsen.
Change of defense lawyer for rugbiers
At the same time, Burlando acknowledged that there is “a possibility” that one of the defendants decides to change their defense attorney. “They are hypotheses. If it’s now, no problem. At this point in the debate, the court is going to decide correctly how this proceeding continues, ”he declared.
For the lawyer, the trial for Fernando’s death might be delayed “minimally, to bring him up to date on everything that happened. It would be necessary to show him a video recording, because the trial is being filmed so that he can get up to speed and hope that he has the opportunity to control the evidence ”.
