ITALIAN CRIMINAL TRIALS: LIGHT AND SHADOWS This is the second in a series containing legal advice about problems readers may encounter during their stay in Italy

O

n 26 March 2013 the Italian lawyer representing the family of the murdered British student Meredith Kercher said that the ruling scrapping the acquittals of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito will help get to the “final, definitive truth” about the case. In an Italian criminal trial it is the public prosecutor (pubblico ministero – often abbreviated to PM) who is tasked with looking for the truth. Public prosecutors are selected from the rank of magistrate and are appointed by the ministry of justice. In order to become a magistrate, a fully-qualified lawyer (avvocato) has to complete successfully a course in public hearings and gain two years of experience. In Italy the public prosecutor carries out the first phase of the process, the preliminary investigation (indagine preliminari), which can take up to six months, on the suspect (indagato). The prosecutor has to gather not only evidence that can lead to conviction but also evidence which could lead to an acquittal. If there is insufficient evidence, the charges must be dropped. In theory this seems perfect; in practice, however, a single prosecutor may be bogged down with an excessive number of criminal cases (often between 1,000 and 1,200) which does not allow time to carry out activity in favour of the suspect. If there is sufficient evidence, a preliminary hearing (udienza preliminare), which can take up to three years, takes place and the judge either decides “no grounds to proceed” (non luogo a procedere) or issues an indictment (rinvio al giudizio). If indicted, the suspect becomes the accused (imputato). Only at this stage does the actual trial (dibattimento) begin, and can last another two to three years. In Italy no suspect may be detained during a preliminary investigation unless there is proof (fumus commissi deliti) that he or she committed a crime. The public prosecutor also has to request a judge to rule on the relevant precautionary measures to prevent the person from committing another crime (eg. murder). A suspect may be placed under provisional arrest or house arrest or be issued with a restraining order but if there is no concrete proof of involvement he or she will not be detained. The accused has the right to defence (diffensore di fiducia), a private legal representative hired at the expense of the accused, and has the right under the law to embark upon defensive action with the assistance of advisers and forensic or other experts at his or her own expense. With regard to the cost of a trial, Italian criminal trials create a rift between those who can afford a qualified criminal defence and those who have to make do with inadequate representation or turn to state legal aid (diffensore di ufficio). Those with financial means fight through their lawyers and consultants in the courts of law and often get away with it due to the timelapse from when the crime was committed. Article 111 of the constitution sanctions the principle of “reasonable duration of trial” (ragionevole durata del processo), and time frames are laid down for each crime and its severity. For example, for theft the time from when the crime was allegedly committed to when the final sentence is passed may not exceed seven and a half years, while for murder the period is 30 years. The defendant can be called to the stand, but has the right to refuse to bear testimony, or may refuse to answer any questions at all. Unlike in many other countries, defendants do not take an oath since they are not technically witnesses and can therefore lie without committing perjury. Wanted in Rome 8 May 2013

Amanda Knox faces another trial for the murder of Meredith Kercher in 2007.

Other parties to the proceedings are those who have been offended by the crime and have suffered damage for which they demand recognition in criminal proceedings. The judge is tasked with assessing only the evidence presented in court, reaching a decision on the case and passing the appropriate sentence. In Italy nobody is tried by a jury of peers; the defendant is judged by a professional judge or by a panel of judges (a panel of three, five or nine). The only exception to the use of professional judges is in the assize court (corte d’assise) which tries cases of serious crime such as murder, terrorism or kidnapping. This court is made up of eight judges: two professional and six lay judges (giudici popolari ). Lay judges are selected from a municipal (comune ) based lists of volunteers, which are revised every two years. People eligible to volunteer have to be Italian citizens between the age of 3065 with a clean legal record, of a moral character and with a minimum of a junior high-school education (licenza media ). Lay judges are paid between €28.82 and €51.65 a day dependent on their employment status, and are fined if they do not appear to fulfill their duties without reasonable excuse. The decision of the assize court may be revised by the appeal court (corte d’assise d’appello). If the case is still not concluded at this level it passes on to the court of cassation (corte di cassazione) for final sentencing. One of the benefits of the Italian trial process is that the appeal court reviews both facts and findings of the law for those wanting to prove their innocence. In adversarial systems, such as in the United States, trials can only be appealed on narrow questions of the law, not on fact, and claims of innocence are not considered constitutional questions. As in the Knox trial for the murder of Meredith Kercher, the criminal trial is not the last chance to provide or contest evidence against the accused. The case is not over, as it may have been in the American adversarial system. In conclusion, we can say that the Italian penal process is a complicated machine that has many levers and requires attorneys who are specialised in criminal proceedings to operate it. It is a common saying in Italy that injustice “is around every corner” (which is too close for comfort); no wonder a legalist here in Italy defined the penal process as “la grande giostra del dolore” (“the great roundabout of pain”).

The magnificent Piazza Grande is central to any visit to Arezzo. Photo Anna Madden.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL IN AREZZO

A

Although overshadowed by its more famous Tuscan neighbours, Arezzo has a charm all of its own

rezzo, located at the confluence of the Casentino, Valdarno and Val di Chiana valleys in central Tuscany, is not in the same picture-postcard league as nearby Florence or Siena but its quirky, unexpected quality makes a visit here well worthwhile. Home to some 100,000 inhabitants, the provincial capital tends to get left off the mainstream tourist trail, giving it an exclusive feel and making it a pleasant place to explore. The first human settlement around this ancient town can be traced back to Stone Age times. An important Etruscan city-state and later an equally important Roman city, by the Middle Ages Arezzo was a thriving economic, religious and cultural hub. However by the 17th century the financial and political clout of the city and its hinterland, under Medici rule, began to decline. Arezzo is best known for its unique mediaeval architecture and its Piero della Francesca murals, housed in the Bacci chapel of the Basilica of S. Francesco. The artist spent over ten years painting the celebrated fresco cycle known as the Legend of the True Cross, regarded as one of the jewels of Italian art, which was restored in 1992. These beautiful panels centre on the legend of Empress Helena recovering Christ’s true cross during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. One panel shows Judas being tortured into revealing the whereabouts of the cross, whose discovery leads to miracles and battles before being returned to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius. The frescoes feature in Anthony Minghella’s classic 1996 film The English Patient when Hana, played by Juliette Binoche, is hoisted around the chapel in a harness, viewing the ancient images by flare-light. A year later, Tuscan actor and comedian Roberto Benigni immortalised Arezzo on the silver screen with his Oscar-winning Life is Beautiful. The city centre will be instantly recognisable to anyone who has seen the heart-warming film in which an Italian Jew who – together with his four-year-old son – is separated from his “principessa” wife and sent to a concentration camp during world war two. In many ways, Benigni’s choice of Arezzo as the film’s backdrop was appropriate. During the last war, Arezzo (as well as many villages in its province) suffered massacres at the hands of the occupying Germans, while many of its ancient buildings were reduced to rubble in Allied bombings. Despite this, the city – in large part rebuilt since the 1940s – has retained its mediaeval character and is an architectural feast for the eyes. Central to its bizarre mix of buildings is the multi-arched S. Maria della Pieve, a romanesque church with a massive square bell tower, which draws visitors into Piazza Grande. This wildly-sloping meeting place is 10 m higher on one side than the other and is flanked by the 16th-century Vasari Loggia designed by Renaissance man Giorgio Vasari. Along with scholar and poet Petrarch, known as the Father of Humanism, Vasari is one of the city’s most famous sons. He is best known for the kilometrelong Vasari Corridor in Florence and his encyclopaedia of artists, The Lives Wanted in Rome 8 May 2013

of the most Eminent Painters, Scholars and Architects, in which he coined in print the original term used to describe the Renaissance: rinascita. His Arezzo home is open to visitors and is wall-to-wall with the artist’s opulent, allegorical murals. Other landmarks to look out for are the imposing hilltop Gothic cathedral, and the Palazzo Pretorio whose façade is decorated with a plethora of stone-carved crests belonging to the city administrators from the 14th18th centuries. One of the city’s most curious sights can be found underneath the Porta S. Laurentino in the fortified town walls. Here stands a bronze replica of the monstrous mythical beast known as the “Chimera of Arezzo”, near where the fifth-century BC original was unearthed in 1553. Immediately claimed for the private collection of Cosimo de’ Medici, the Chimera was part of a large treasure trove of Etruscan gems buried during Antiquity. Since its rediscovery, the part-lion, part-goat, part-serpent is recognised as the symbol of the Etruscan civilisation, and the original can be seen at the Archaeological Museum in Florence. On the first Sunday of the month for the last 40 years, Piazza Grande and its environs has been filled with an enormous antique fair. The openair markets of the Fiera Antiquaria include all kinds of unusual collectibles and memorabilia, from furniture to jewellery, and attract up to 20,000 people a time. Indeed there are plenty of year-round antique shops in Arezzo, where authentic antiques far outnumber any mass-produced souvenirs. Every summer, Piazza Grande hosts the Giostra del Saracino, a reenactment of a mediaeval jousting tournament, celebrated for its pageantry and flag throwing. Held on the third Sunday of June and the first Sunday of September, the dramatic spectacle sees the city’s four districts dress in their colours while, armed with lances, riders strike Saracen effigies in front of cheering crowds. After working up an appetite from a day’s sightseeing, the 14th-century walls of La Buca di S. Francesco provide a welcome refuge. This restaurant serves scrumptious medium-sized courses of Tuscan specialities, desserts and locally-produced cheeses and wine. Its mediaeval-style murals and low, vaulted ceiling provide the feeling of stepping back in time, enhanced all the more by the flag-stoned floor which was once an Etruscan road. The surreal atmosphere is polished off magnificently by the convivial host – an elderly gentleman noted for his flamboyant bow ties – who adds a further splash of colour to an eccentric city.

ai marmi Viale Trastevere 53, tel. 065800919

€ This pizzeria is also nicknamed “L’Obitorio” (the morgue in English) because its tables are covered with slabs of marble. The pizza is thin, Roman style, and good. Even fried appetisers (fiori di zucca and supplì) are not bad. Prices are very reasonable in relation to the quality and quantity of food. The atmosphere is chaotic, but it can also be fun. The only real drawback is the queue if you arrive at rush hour (around 21.00) especially on weekends.
