I know you guys want updates but there is pretty much nothing to say. This is the first time I have ever heard of 3 separate attempts to remove the judge from a trial in Italy and the amazing thing is that all 3 came from the prosecution. Casoria herself said “it appears as though the accused are the only parties interested in hearing a verdict”.
Why?
She’s a bitch that’s why. That’s literally the reason. Her character is too brash according to those who stepped forward and she is not giving the trial the appropriate attention because she was quoted saying that “there are more important trials than this”. I agree with her. This trial is ridiculous. She never acted improperly though. To remove a judge something like a conflict of interest or an improper maneuver must be proven. She is guilty of neither.
Maybe the problem is that she is fair and uninterested in calcio, maybe the fact that she doesn’t give a shit about Juve, or Inter or any team and never worked for Telecom, Pirelli, the FIGC etc. makes her too impartial and the prosecution is upset about how permissive she was regarding all the new wire taps she allowed the defense to present. She was fair though. When the prosecutors requested 9 witnesses be permitted to testify she allowed them. The fact that their testimonials were suicide (Facchetti’s stupid kid for instance) wasn’t her fault.
A part of me thinks that this will be seen for what it is and the stall tactic won’t work but, I think the prosecution knows it is beaten and will likely resort to some other stall tactic in order to force the mistrial.
