EXCLUDING THE ABBREVIED RITE

The path of the abbreviated procedure cannot be undertaken because the accusation, which from simple voluntary homicide has become premeditated homicide. Now we are waiting for the preliminary hearing to be set. The hope of the prosecutor, despite knowing that the defense will take time to analyze all the documents in the file, is that the time will be “short”. The trial will take place in the Assize Court, where in addition to two magistrates, the jury also includes six lay judges.
