He had returned from work and once he arrived home he saw a shocking scene: his 40-year-old brother, drunk, was attacking his parents. And to avoid punching him in turn, not knowing what else to do, a 43-year-old man from Pesaro grabbed a baseball bat and hit his brother in the leg with it, to try to make him stop and save the children from the beatings. two elderly people. But for this gesture, the 43-year-old, defended by the lawyer Alberto Lupi, ended up on trial for injuries aggravated by the use of the baseball bat. Not because the brother had reported it, but because the report from the police, who had intervened on the spot following this violent quarrel, had automatically started the proceedings, given that these injuries had been caused by a baseball bat. It all happened in Pesaro on May 22, 2022, more or less at dinner time.
However, yesterday the 43-year-old from Pesaro who was in the dock was acquitted due to the tenuous nature of the crime. In fact, the blow inflicted with the baseball bat on the leg of the person who later became the offended party in the proceedings had only caused a bruise on the man’s left thigh, or little more.
The defender, lawyer Lupi, previously explained to the judge and the prosecutor that this was a gesture his client had been forced to make to appease the impetuosity of his brother, destabilized by alcohol, towards both their parents. And as such that gesture should not have been punished. The lawyer also said that a month later his brother had gone to a community to undergo detoxification. All these elements convinced Judge Piersantelli to decide that the accused, who was acquitted, was not punishable.
