Father asks Nardoni OAB monitor lawsuit

SAO PAULO - The grandfather of Isabella de Oliveira Nardoni, Nardoni Antonio, asked the president of the Sao Paulo section of the Bar Association of Brazil (OAB), Luiz Flavio D''Urso, which monitor the course of justice in the investigation of death of girl 5 years. Antonio's son, Alexandre Nardoni, and daughter, Anna Carolina Jatoba, prisoners are in custody, charged with the murder of Isabella. The president of the OAB-SP confirmed receiving the letter.

Antonio made the request through a three-page letter delivered last night by D''Urso sister of Alexander, Cristiane in an event of the entity in the state capital. Discreet, Cristiane took the presence of the President of the Supreme Court (STF), Gilmar Mendes, and also delivered to the minister an envelope, after exchanging words with him. The press Mendes confirmed receiving the envelope, but does not comment on its contents.

In his letter to D''Urso, Antônio Nardoni asks "that the OAB monitor compliance with the constitutional principles of legal defense and the contradictory" in the case of Isabella. The father of accused says he worries "before the antagonism that the couple has suffered the public and the media." Anthony also shows "lack of evidence" and "difficulties encountered during the process." He reaffirms the innocence of his son and daughter.

The defense of Alexander and Anna Carolina confirmed that he will appeal the decision of the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJ-SP) to send the couple a jury. And you can do it directly to the STF. The couple had already denied more than ten requests to address the process at large.

After receiving the letter, D''Urso met with at least two constitutional experts to address the request for Nardoni. Through the press office of the Bar Association, he said he understood the letter as an "outburst" of Antonio Nardoni and made itself available to receive the attorneys in the case. He has not sent a reply to Antonio Nardoni.

Just yesterday, before D''Urso have commented on the contents of the letter, Antônio Nardoni denied the existence of the document and said he believed it was a work college of her daughter, which he says, he attends the final year of law and preparing a monograph on the "presumption of innocence." Asked if the letter was the case Isabella, said: "I do not answer. People are seeing things that do not exist." A brief conversation with Cristiane's the chief justice would also have academic reasons, he said. "It is normal for a student to talk with the speaker to the final event," he argued. Today, the familiar letter, the report sought Antônio Nardoni, but got no return.

Cristiane Mendes waited in the back of the auditorium of the Faculty of Law Largo São Francisco, São Paulo. Mixed between aides Mendes and D''Urso, who accompanied the minister to exit the building, she approached the chief justice.

Defense Nardoni the couple wants to delay trial, "said prosecutor in the case Isabella

The couple's lawyer Nardoni, Roberto Podval said that the portal iG, next week, should come with an appeal calling for the withdrawal of charges of fraud proceedings against Alexandre Nardoni and Ana Carolina Jatoba, accused of killing the girl Isabella Nardoni, in March 29, 2008. For the prosecutor in the case, Francisco Tadeu Cembranelli, the defense to postpone the trial, scheduled for March 22. "I call it the dilatory maneuver.

According Cembranelli in December 2009, a similar appeal was dismissed by the Supreme Court of Justice (STJ) and denied unanimously. For him, the defense "was worried about being fast, it would have immediately filed a new habeas corpus." He (lawyer) waited over December, January and February to think about it because he wants to delay the trial, "he says. And indeed, this can happen.

On 22 March, the couple will be tried for the crimes of murder triply qualified (through cruel, inability to defend the victim in order to ensure impunity for crimes already committed) and procedural fraud.

However, if by then the application for review of charges of fraud has not been dismissed, the judge may grant an injunction temporarily suspending the jury. "Hardly, the Supreme can enjoy it in less than 30 days. He is one to try cases from all over Brazil and it is not the case because Isabella is known that will pass in front of others, "said the prosecutor.

Cembranelli also states that if the trial of the action will take long to happen, the defense can come with other applications for freedom. "If it is 5 here, 6 months, knows what he can do? Login with an application for freedom and say that is taking too long and the defendants are not guilty of the slowness of the Brazilian Justice. It is his role? Is. Is it legal? The law allows. The question is: is it moral? "He argued.

If the judge accepted defense arguments, among them that the defendant is not required to produce evidence against himself, on charges of fraud or procedural is not presented to jurors. Cembranelli not believe that the Supreme Court vote in favor of the couple, but nevertheless says that the charge would add little to the final penalty. "It's something of a year. There is an intentional crime against life, is connected with the murder, "he says.

Expertise in apartment

Another criticism made by the family of the accused is that the apartment was not sealed after the crime, which would make the accusation that the scene was changed. Even the father of Alexander, Antônio Nardoni, was on site the day following the death of granddaughter. And just as he had access, the defense believes that other people also could have gone and changed the location.

To Cembranelli, is "wrong" to think this way. "The apartment was sealed and preserved by the police on the night itself. The expertise was called, photographed and picked up objects, "he said, adding that this first expertise," there were already signs that the apartment had been tampered with and suppressed evidence. "

The prosecutor cited the diaper, he said, contained blood and was in a bucket under the tank. "It was the only piece of sauce on a pile of dirty laundry. She drew the attention of experts and was collected, "he says.

According to him, the apartment was released to his family, but experts returned to the site several times. On these occasions, among other things, carried out tests with reagents. "The reagents can be used until years after the crime that still show the evidence," he says.

Date trial

During a conversation in a shopping area west of Sao Paulo, iG Cembranelli told that he had "hopes" to bring the couple to the jury by the end of 2008, when Isabella died. "And that would have happened if the defense had not started to draw forth," he says.

Only the first 12 months after the death of Isabella, Nardoni couple's lawyers have filed 10 appeals to the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJ-SP), three in the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and six in the Supreme Court (STF). Cembralli says that delaying the judging, the "defense wants to make the case to be forgotten." "But it's hard to get the memory to be erased this way."

Regardless, if the request for review of procedural fraud charge is not judged by the Supreme Court until trial, the court in Brasilia may grant an injunction temporarily suspending the jury.

Delay

According to the lawyer should rest with the Supreme Court will decide whether ask or not to postpone the trial to analyze the new habeas corpus. "If the decision of the Supreme is given after the trial, may cause damage to many parties involved, " Podval said.

According to experts the question of fraud procedure would not have enough time to be determined by the Supremo before day 22. And it should not be seen after jury because it is directly related, for example, the time penalty that the couple can receive in the event of a conviction.

The prosecutor in the case, Cembranelli Francisco, where found that the decision of the attorney to enter a Nardoni habeas corpus suggests that he is making a move to try to extend the date of the trial of the defendants.
