Prisoner in Melchor Romero’s Alcudia No. 3, where he is serving a life sentence The Crime of Fernando Báez Sosa, Maximo Thomson (24) He spoke for the first time about what happened at Villa Gesell on January 18, 2020, in which the law student was murdered. “I was there, I ran and I hit him, but I never wanted anything like that to happen”he said in reference to the murder.

In a nearly two-hour interview given to the journalist Rolando BarbanoThomson gave his version of events, admitting to having killed him, but all the time he tried to highlight the idea that he and his friends wanted to kill Fernando. Yes, he admitted he had never imagined they could kill him and pointed out Matias Bennicelli Like someone getting into a fight with the victim at a bowling alley.

,All I remember is that I went in (to the fight) kicking ass. I don’t want to hide from what happened“I want them to blame us for what happened, not what they say happened,” Thomson burst into tears after saying this phrase.

And he went on to say in a broken voice: “I was there, I ran, I hit him, but I never wanted it to end like this”. crying broke her speech again. “It’s hard, because it’s a Significant burden of conscienceBecause when someone doesn’t look for it, he doesn’t expect this result.

was also sentenced to life imprisonment Ciro Pertossi, Enzo Comelli, Luciano Pertossi and Beniselli In the event of a perfect contest with minor injuries, the offence of murder by premeditated conspiracy of two or more persons was doubled, provided the report the first part of which was broadcast tonight Telenight In thirteen, The final section of the note will be released this Wednesday.

Thomson’s idea, combined with that of his new lawyer, Francisco OnetoFormer candidate for vice governor of La Libertad Avanza must overturn the sentence given by the judges Oral Criminal Court No. 1 of Dolores, The former rugby player was identified as the leader of the group and the one who delivered the fatal kick to Fernando Báez Sosa in the head when he was already unconscious on the ground.

In this crusade, Thomson’s story and his defenders’ arguments are aimed at overthrowing premeditation, The figure that holds the eternal. And Maximo spoke along these lines: “He was a young man like us. Carry this awareness Yes, it was our mistake, mine too… But nobody wanted this. I am sure: neither me nor my friends, none of them wanted it to end like this. This is a life and no one is there to take someone’s life.“. He started crying again.

The picture behind him was captured on camera The Virgin of San Nicolás inside a showcase. The story of his life before January 18 in Villa Gesell was left behind, when he was studying to be a physical education teacher and training in rugby with the San Isidro Atlético Club. In addition, he worked with his father in irrigation in the summer and it is also believed that when he went on vacation, alcohol was his main consumption. “If I didn’t drink I wouldn’t have any fun. “I did it out of necessity and it was my way of having fun.”He remembered.

After explaining that “there is no violence in rugby,” the convicted man said: “It has nothing to do with rugby, it has nothing to do with a social issue. “You go out on the street and there is violence.” Precisely, he would talk about the nights he spent getting beaten up in Zarate. “Yes, that’s what happened I went out and sure enough it was very common to have two or three fights; with tiles, weapons, knivesit was a tough question. I’ve always looked at it. I’ve struggled and It’s not something I’m proud of. And this is something I got treated for by a psychologist.”

Looking back, Thomson recalled that Zarate’s nightly fights “never” led him to think about killing anyone. And he added: “No one feels that one can go to the extent of killing someone with one’s hands or body.,

The convict explained that the group with which he went to Villa Gesell in January 2020 were his friends on vacation, nothing more. “A plan?”was planning to take in the afternoon and at night, and go out,” he admitted, and admitted that on January 18, when Fernando died: “I ended up drunk at Le Bric Bowling Alley”,

Barbano asked him who hit Fernando first when he was leaving Le Brique that night. “First Enzo (Comelli). He hits him because he hit Matias (inside the bowling alley). He hit him and I went back, and I came in. I feel a lump and I start kicking the air“, replied.

And he added: “I never grabbed her hair, I just kicked her. “I had no idea what I was doing.” Then they split up kick In Fernando’s head: “I didn’t go. It was Cyrus (Pertussi), and it turned out that the kick never came.

And he went deeper, absolving himself of the guilt of not speaking up earlier: “I found out later I killed Fernando. This is something that happened and I’m not going to hide it. I always wanted to tell this, but they didn’t give me a chance. They told me no because it was prejudicial and could be used against me. “I wanted to say I was a participant, but I had no intention of being one.”,

He highlighted the issue and included other culprits as well, as if he spoke for everyone:”We may be good or bad people, but none of us wanted this.“It’s a life, no one is there to take someone’s life.”

To conclude this first installment of notes about one of those convicted of Fernando’s crime, Thomson launches: “I don’t feel like a killer..That’s a very strong word… To think they bought you with those who kill for the sake of killingthat later you see here (in prison) that such people fall, that they consider it a normal thing and they also take my name in the same way. And I did not want this to happen. If you could do something, what would you do? Turn back time so that no one dies.”

In early April this year, two of those sentenced to life imprisonment, Thomson and Beniceli, He decided to abandon Hugo Twomey’s combined defencewho represented him throughout the investigation and trial; and resort to Buenos Aires Supreme Court of Justice Trying to overturn the decision on Dolores’ OCD #1.

After this there was a huge change in strategy Criminal Cassation Chamber will confirm the penalties for eight rugby players. Although they have conflicting interests, New lawyers for Bennicelli and Thomson, Carlos Attias and Francisco Onetorespectively, the goal of demolishing premeditation, The figure that, at this level, supports the eternal.

They both believe that Twomey’s determination not to let them testify complicated the situation for the entire denunciation group. For the murder of a law student. As explained infobaeThe new defense intends to hold a new trial in which both can express themselves.

A week after breaking the tacit agreement he had made with his colleagues, Thomson once again questioned the work of his previous legal representative and asked for a new trial. He did so through an extraordinary appeal presented before the Buenos Aires Supreme Court of Justice, in which, in addition, he gave his version of events and The involvement of two other convicts was specifically mentioned In the murder case.

In the document, Thomson assured that the work of Temi There was a lack of effectiveness because he defended eight of the accused and, because he wanted to do so for the whole group, did not represent their personal interests and the interests of others.On this basis, he requested that that procedure be declared invalid and that a new trial be held.
