While eyes are on what the man will say Oral Criminal Court 1 of Dolores and the judgment of the trial of the eight rugbiers accused of the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa, Thomas D’Alessandro -a close friend of Fernando’s who was there on the tragic night- published a moving open letter in which he asked for justice and He left a message for the whole society: “Get involved, even if you are afraid”.
That night, the young man not only saw what happened outside the bowling alley, but also received a beating from several of the rugby players while trying to defend his friend. After 3 years, he looked them in the face again as a witness and victim in the trial that comes to an end this Monday.
“During all this time and the experiences I have lived, I have been reflecting on a lot of things, and I want to take advantage of this moment to say a few words to everyone who is interested. GET INVOLVED. Simply that. Get involved to defend a friend, get involved to help someone in need, get involved to give a bit of peace to a family member who is having a hard time.”begins the post he made on his social networks.
The letter, which is accompanied by a photo of him with Fernando and quickly went viral, continues: “Get involved to provide a little light in dark moments, get involved even if it means risking yourself, get involved even if you are afraid and don’t know what can happen, get involved even if others tell you not to, get involved even if you think you have everything to lose. You have no idea of what you can generate simply by getting involved. Never let fear win you.”.
“Be encouraged to get involved, and be encouraged to DO, because that’s what life is all about, DO. Start the career that you want to study so much, apply for that job that you are looking for so much, tell that person you like so much what you feel, embark on that project that you are so afraid of starting. But do not stay with the desire, because life is too short to regret something you wanted to do, but did not do, ”he wrote towards the end of the letter.
In the last paragraph he remembers his friend again and reiterated a request: “To close, I want to thank you all for your messages and to place an order that is already more than well known, but that it never hurts to remember. JUSTICE FOR FER!!!”. It should be noted that Tomás testified on the second day of the trial for the crime before the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 1. In his testimony, he assured that he suffered “three blows” inside Le Brique and mentioned Lucas Pertosi as one of the main aggressors Matias Benicelli.
