The lawyer who defends the eight rugby players accused of the murder of Fernando, Hugo Tomei, justified the use of chinstraps by the defendants to prevent a risk of contagion of Covid-19
But he held that now they began to take them off because “when things are progressing and it can be presumed that there will be no risky contagion, it can be done without”
Tomei added that “it is impossible” for the defendants to have laughed in the room, as Fernando Burlando maintained: “It is impossible, very rare, that in a debate one can a accused laugh”,
In a hearing of the trial carried out by the Oral Criminal Court (TOC) 1 of Dolores, he pointed out: “The game started three years ago and now we are in the final stage of the process, certain things are taking place that we are assuming and now we will listen to the experts. It is a trial that the court is carrying out very well, the parties are comfortable in the litigation, there is an area in which it can be discussed, it is very important”.
