When prejudice wins. It seems to us one of the teachings that come to us from the dramatic case of Garlasco. A stinging warning, which boils with a negative brand the entire judicial system and the already scarce trust that we can still place in it.
“The ice -eyed blond”the Nerd Bocconian, was the perfect culprit, and a motive, even if it wasn’t there, could be imagined. Thus other clues have been left out, or even evidence, which already twenty years ago could be collected and studied, and not classified as “Of no use”as happened for the imprint of one hand on the wall, next to the lifeless body of Chiara Poggi, or the remains of the garbage of the day, to the tickets and from the interceptions between friends over time.
Instead, no doubt about a group of close -knit boys, of good families and with good future perspectives, in a country that wanted to stay calm and give the monster a quick name. The media overlap on the yellow pressed, as it presses today, but it is not enough: someone acted with neglect, between the law enforcement and in the judiciary, by superficiality or by calculation, and later he considered uncomfortable and inconvenient to confess the impercy, hoping that it is such. He protected, he protected.
A killer was, in prison, and ten years have passed since the final sentence. It will be said: the error is possible, justice is not perfect. Yes, we know it well. In this country 30 thousand innocent people have been involved in thirty years, with the pillory and torture of unjust accusations. But how many magistrates have admitted and made ancest and paid for the time and serenity kidnapped? Some transfer, at most, in other prosecutors.
However, it is equally true that the tenacious and rapid reopening of the investigations on the Poggi crime confirms that not all investigators and judges are equal and some do not fear to tear the dusty tents of approximation or homeere, for the love of the truth.
We could then reflect on how much i prejudices Conditions our life, relationships, and how difficult a free judgment is, so much so that you prefer for convenience not to judge, not express yourself. Instead the judgment is a noble, high, human faculty.
The exercise of critical ability It is essential to choose, decide, operate in thought and in the documents. But it is judged by carefully looking at reality, without surcharges, without letting themselves be conditioned by somatic traits, expressions, attitudes that seem more or less moral or in line with what we think.
Worse, without letting yourself be led by common thinking, fed by a media battage Hitting, who gradually insinuates himself and envelops us, bringing us to the same judgment, son of the prejudice. One with that look … with what he did … with that way of dressing, of speaking, with those frequentations.
It applies to the news cases, so we all improvise criminologists, with maniacal curiosity. But it applies to the colleague, the parish priest. It applies to the Pope.
