The confessed perpetrator of the murder of Garyfalia in Folegandros will be brought to trial for intentional homicide in a calm state of mind, according to the family's lawyer.
"The case file was forwarded to the head of the prosecutor's office of Naxos, who will propose to the Judicial Council of Naxos that the sane perpetrator be referred to the Joint Jury Court, in order to be tried for the crime of intentional homicide in a calm mental state by a healthy perpetrator, for which the sentence of life imprisonment is provided, "stressed in the statement from the law office of Alexis Kougias.
It is also noted that "the Psarrakos family wants this trial to be held at the Athens Mixed Jury Court for security reasons, as was the case with the Topaloudis trial."
The following is a detailed statement from the law firm of Alexis Kougias:
As it is known, the head of our law firm, Mr. Alexis Kougias, is counsel for the prosecution of the late pharmacist Garifallia Psarrakos, who at the age of 26, after being brutally tortured, died from the D.B.
From the very first moment the perpetrator, instead of apologizing to the tragic family of the victim, through his lawyer Yannis Vlachos, tried to convince the prosecuting and judicial authorities of the Naxos Court of First Instance that he is unaccountable due to incurable mental illness, so that he would not be tried and sent to prison but to a mental hospital for treatment.
Today our office has received the expert reports No. 109/1-6-2022 and No. 114/3-6-2022, which were ordered in order to determine whether the perpetrator is really mentally ill and therefore unaccountable and the answer of the forensic doctors was a hell for him and his defence. The experts ruled that not only is the perpetrator not unaccountable but he is not even a reduced charge.
After this answer of the forensic experts, which is in our possession, our office partner Ekaterini Iglou signed the end of the interrogation and the file was forwarded to the head of the prosecutor's office of Naxos, who will propose to the Judicial Council of Naxos to refer the healthy perpetrator to the Mixed Jury Court to be tried for the crime of intentional homicide in a calm state of mind by a healthy perpetrator, for which the sentence of life imprisonment is provided.
As is known, the Psarrakos family wants this trial to be held at the Mixed Jury Court of Athens for security reasons, as was the case with the Topaloudis trial, in which, as is known, Mr Kougias was once again counsel for the prosecution.
