Overview
- Defense lawyer Amedeo Rizza said the 19-year-old has waived an appeal and will serve the sentence.
- The appeal window closed on November 4 after a June 27 conviction set 20 years, the maximum under the juvenile abbreviated procedure, for the 2024 killing of his parents and 12-year-old brother in Paderno Dugnano.
- Judge Paola Ghezzi’s 51-page motivations described a premeditated, lucid plan — an idea of “immortality through elimination” — and rejected mental incapacity.
- A psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Franco Martelli had found partial mental infirmity, a point the defense maintains the court undervalued.
- In custody he earned a high-school diploma, enrolled at university, and plans to continue treatment during his sentence.
