Willy, second appeal for the Whites on generic extenuating circumstances

During the beating, underlined the Deputy Attorney General of the Court of Cassation, “Willy receives at least two potentially fatal blows, following the first blow he manages to get up but once more he is hit for another 40-50 seconds of ‘madness’”.

The defense spoke during the hearing. For those of Gabriele Bianchi, the lawyers Ippolita Naso and Valerio Spigarelli, “it is excluded that their client got out of the car to kill Willy. He arrived on site mistakenly convinced that he had to intervene in defense of his friends, in fact as soon as he arrived he said ‘they’re fighting over here’”.

For their part, Marco Bianchi’s defenders, the lawyers Leonardo Bianchini and Vannina Zaru have asked for the charge to be downgraded to manslaughter. In the reasons for the appeal sentence, the judges reconstructed the phases of the attack.

For the magistrates “there remains an inalienable fact, reported by all the texts, of the deadly blows launched by Gabriele and Marco Bianchi once morest Willy. Belleggia’s violent conduct is also certain, consisting in particular in hitting Willy with a kick to the head, in the final phase of the beating”.

In the act with which they justified the recognition of the generic mitigating circumstances, the judges also stated that “it must be considered established that the attack began with the violent kick launched by Gabriele Bianchi to Willy’s chest with a martial arts technique and with such power to push him on his back once morest a car and which is followed by a punch thrown by Gabriele when the young man tries to get up.
