too many changes of judge in the trials
The criminal lawyers of Rome on November 2 will cross their arms. Reason for the strike: the replacements of the judges are contesting an ongoing trial.
It is no longer possible for lawyers to accept the practice. The criminal lawyers deliberate the strike for November 2nd
There are no judges but no trials can be held with a change of judges on the fly during the trial, the Roman criminal lawyers complain.
After a series of cases, the protest was triggered by yet another episode that took place in front of the IX collegiate section of the court of Rome where a delicate process with education is underway for 416 bis, a mafia-type association.
Here, as the criminal lawyers state, they have to declare very frequent changes to the judging panel.
The president of the Criminal Chamber of Rome, Vincenzo Comi, and the board of directors have thus approved a strike day.
“Let’s imagine that we are on trial and that the decision on innocence or guilt is made by a judge other than the one who followed the judgment and in particular the examination of witnesses – Comi nut – He knows nothing, come and decide. Can it be called a process that respects people’s fundamental rights? Is it a credible justice? “
“We can really think that in 2022 – Comi adds – are we still in these conditions? People should ask the president of the court of Rome why, they should ask how it is possible that with an extraordinary frequency at the last hearing of delicate trials (but also less delicate) a judge never seen in the trial arrives and decides on the accused’s responsibility“.
Success in the largest court in Europe
Virtually the newcomer to the max may have seen the defendant in the face before entering the council chamber for the decision, according to Roman criminal lawyers.
“T.everything this in the largest in Europe. And of course damaging not only the accused but also the offended persons and the Prosecutor’s Office. It is pure hypocrisy and contempt for the rules laid down at the basis of the criminal trial“, Concludes the president of the Criminal Chamber of Rome.
The last case in the question that occurred to a story such as the umpteenth change of is after the conclusions of the ministerial judge and during the speeches of the defenders.
Faced with this episode, the association of Roman criminal lawyers approved the strongest form of protest: abstention from hearings for one day.
November 2 is the day chosen in “symbolic coincidence with the date of celebration of the hearing “with an invitation to all members of the Criminal Chamber to intervene at the hearing to show their solidarity with the defensive panel in what has turned into the funeral of the accusatory trial“.
