“The only DNA found and never contested leads to a different context from the one that determined the condemnation of my client”. The lawyer Paolo Camporini, one of the lawyers of Massimo Giuseppe Bossettithe former Mapello bricklayer definitively sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Yara Gambirasio, the 13 -year -old who disappeared on November 26, 2010 in Brembate di Sopra (Bergamo) and found lifeless in a field in Chignolo d’Isola three months later. 15 years after the crime, for the first time the defenders of the 54 -year -old will be able to view the data relating to the genetic profiles that led to the identification of “unknown one”, a trace then attributed to Bossetti. “These are” strangely “evidentiary material not deposited in the procedural documents, so much so that the Court has enhanced its character of absolute novelty”, points out the lawyers.
Camorini lawyer, are there any news?
“At the moment none. The Court of Assizes delegated the judicial police for the acquisition of the material at the offices of the Ris and the scientific police. On 7 July an extension of another 30 days was granted, so the new terms are set for August. We await confident”.
What does the list of material made available for defensive investigations include specifically?
“All the high resolution photographic images carried out by the RIS of Parma during the examination and analysis of the finds subject of investigation. Then there are the electrophographical tracks produced by the Ris and by the technical consultants of the Prosecutor, the data relating to the victim’s reference samples and the genetic characterizations made by both the Ris and the Scientific Police. All evidentiary material ‘strangely’ not deposited in the procedural documents, so much so that the Court has enhanced the character of the absolute. novelty”.
Once all the data are acquired, what will the next step be?
“We will make them examine by our technical consultants. We are convinced that the DNA found on Yara’s clothing is not Bossetti”.
It seems to be sure.
“I am. Bossetti was condemned by means of DNA, as the mitochondrial part was missing, a circumstance not existing in nature. We have denounced other hundreds of anomalies, including the use of kits expired for over a year and never regularized. It is a totally unreliable data. If it had not been, I repeat, for that half DNA, it would have been acquitted, there is no other certain tests load”.
His client has always professed innocent. Did you ever name a hypothetical other manager?
“Bossetti cannot know who was to kill Yara. He did not know the victim, nor has he ever had contacts with the girl or his acquaintances.”
What is your idea about it?
“The story is not the one that led to Bossetti’s condemnation. We have our idea, which we have already manifested in the appropriate locations”.
Meaning what?
“I can only tell you that, in our opinion, on the basis of non -contestable evidence, Yara has never come out alive from that sports center. And mind you that I don’t talk about the gym, but about the entire structure, which covers a much wider territory”.
What elements is his conviction on?
“Mine is not an opinion, there are objective feedback in the investigation documents. Starting from the fact that nobody, of the many present, saw Yara leave the sports center that evening, nor did it have seen her load on a truck. Even the only DNA found and uninterested, by nature and belonging, leads to that context”.
So, in your opinion, what could be an alternative reconstruction?
“The murder took place inside the Sports Center and the corpse was transported to the Chignolo d’Isola field not many days before the discovery. There are feedback in the documents, including technical ones, which provide this kind of indication”.
Which?
“I cannot list them all, because they are numerous. I only remember that even the most famous geneticist in the world, Peter Gill, so praised in the process and in the sentence, had highlighted the impossibility that on Yara’s clothing there was only the nuclear and non -mitochondrial DNA of the attacker. He had also underlined that the DNA could not be contextual to the murder, but had been paid in a subsequent moment and had excluded that body could be that body. Staying three months in that field.
She was a member of the Observatory on the judicial error of the Italian criminal chambers. In his opinion, the story that involves his client is part of the case?
“This by Bossetti is certainly a judicial error. So much so that in the case studies of judicial errors, the highest percentage is represented by a wrong scientific proof. As precisely it was in this case for the DNA erroneously attributed to my client”.
And what do you think about the new investigation into the crime of Garlasco?
“I do not know the documents, so I consider it inappropriate to express assessments. Certainly this is proof that technical and genetic analyzes can also be redone of years after the crime, also thanks to the scientific evolution on the point of analysis, given that however there is a precise will to dispel any doubt”.
Returning to Bossetti, you and her colleague, the lawyer Salvagni, have you already taken into consideration the hypothesis of a possible request for revision of the process?
“We proceed as degrees. In the sense that, at this moment, our goal is to be able to carry out the technical consultations. We are sorry that we can no longer have the DNA samples, first denounced as exhausted so as to entail the rejection of the request for skill, and then destroyed, as soon as the sentence has been judged, despite the ban on the execution judge.
Did you have the opportunity to meet your recently assisted? If so, what did he tell you?
“I told us about last Saturday.
He is convinced that if he could obtain a contradictory skill on the genetic test he would be able to demonstrate that he is foreign to the story. Moreover, we also aim to demonstrate that that DNA is not Bossetti “.
