New twist in the Grillo trial , the defense of the four boys accused of gang sexual violence are ready to renounce the victim's testimony.

In recent days, the decision of the pool of lawyers would have been communicated to the lawyers of the civil party and to the Tempio Court.

The new position of the defense goes in line with the observations that had been made by the lawyers of the civil party, Giulia Bongiorno and Dario Romano , on the serious consequences of a testimony in the courtroom for a traumatized person .

This morning the issue will be at the center of the very first phase of the hearing which involves the start of the testimony of the girl, alleged victim of the group sexual violence which, according to the Tempio Prosecutor's Office, took place in July 2019 in Porto Cervo.

The four defendants, Ciro Grillo, Francesco Corsiglia, Vittorio Lauria and Edoardo Capitta will not be present .

The feeling is that the defense no longer considers the examination of the victim necessary, because the alleged contradictions and inconsistencies in her story have already emerged during the depositions of the other witnesses and in particular of the friend present in the Grillo's house on the night of July 17th 2019.
