The trial will decide whether or not mitigating circumstances will be granted to the detained former police officer, an issue that will also determine whether he will remain in prison or not.
Tomorrow has been determined before the Mixed Jury Court of Appeal of Lamia the new trial of Epameinondas Korkoneas, for the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos in 2008 from which it will be judged whether or not mitigating circumstances will be recognized to the detained former police officer, an issue that will also determine his stay or not in prison.
The lawyers of the family of the 15-year-old student, Nikos Konstantopoulos and Zoe Konstantopoulou, state in a statement that “Tomorrow we will be in Lamia again, claiming Justice for Alexander again. And we will face, again, the activation of mechanisms for fostering and serving the perpetrator of the murder of the child “.
The statement of the lawyers of the family of the 15-year-old who received a fatal blow from the policeman’s gun states, among other things:
“We remind you that the Mixed Jury Court of Amfissa, which ruled the case in the first instance in 2010, did not recognize any mitigation in Epameinondas Korkoneas and imposed a life sentence. The Mixed Jury Court of Lamia, , in a calm state of mind, recognized him, completely contradictory and scandalously, mitigating, and with a sentence of thirteen years he released him, at the same time acquitting his accomplice, Vassilios Saraliotis, provoking the immediate request of the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court It was finally decided by the recent unanimous decision of the Plenary Session of the Supreme Court, on March 18, 2022 “.
It is emphasized that “With the speed of light, after the appeal and after the re-arrest of Korkoneas, the Prosecutor of the Court of Appeals of Lamia identified the case in the first available trial, on 11/5/2022, in secret and excluding the side of Alexander’s family. , after the indefinite postponement decided by the Lamia Public Prosecutor’s Office on 11/5/2022, the Lamia Appellate Prosecutor moved again with lightning speed, identifying, on the very next day 12/5/2022, the case for tomorrow 8/6/2022- and This prosecutorial study raises troubling concerns, in conjunction with our information that Korkonea’s defense is pleased to have secured his immediate release, again, with the recognition, again, of a mitigating factor for the murderer. These events and the unprecedented haste of the determination, by the Prosecutor of the Appellate Court of Lamia, revive what took place, before the same court, with unprecedented methods, 2019, which led to the scandalous, now reversed, decision, which we then denounced “.
