“The outcome of this hospitalization never crossed my mind,” said Roula Pispirigou, in her apology for Georgina’s first admission on April 7, 2021, to the Karamandane Hospital of Patras and the child’s fatal course from the seizure and the quadriplegic, to death a few months later.

The 35-year-old, who continues her plea in the Joint Jury for Georgina’s deathdescribed what happened the night before her daughter was admitted to the Hospital.

As he mentioned, because she had quarreled with her now estranged husband, she had gone to her mother’s house. There, after they had eaten, as he mentioned, he had told Georgina, who had already lost her two sisters, that “she will have a little brother” as she was pregnant and had decided to keep the child “even though we did not get along with Manos Daskalakis”. . Georgina, Pispirigou said, “was overjoyed”.

According to the accused, in the early morning and while she was in bed with her, Georgina, who a little earlier had shaken herself in her sleep, “opened her eyes and said to me, ‘I’m shaking, mom.’ Her upper lip was red. She told me that her stomach hurts “and I have a bomb in my back”. She asked us to go to the hospital, although she didn’t want the doctors at all. When you’ve lost two children and a baby, it’s straight to a doctor. I wasn’t negotiating with myself. It was absolute fear. I looked to see who was on duty and my sister and I started for my stepfather to take us to Karamandanio.

The accused described what happened at the hospital,the examinations carried out and the decision to admit the child.

” After a series of tests during her hospitalization, the doctors concluded that “the child does not have something and they think it is something psychological because of everything she has been through. I told you he lived through bad things. The child did not express himself then. I believed that he embodied all this, which was not expressed. He didn’t cry, he didn’t touch her at all, that was very strange for us. At school she had talked to the child psychologist and said that in her little head she wanted to have a little brother. Manos was completely negative at the time, but then changed his mind.

If you suddenly lose your child, one of your hands on the walk is empty, you get a shock. When the house had this mourning this blackness. Iris got her name from the rainbow because she brought joy to our home. But then the colors of the iris faded. But I had two medical examiners tell me that the children died for other reasons. There was no suspicion of accusation.”

The statement was interrupted about an hour after the start of the session due to a problem with the recording machine as there was a notification that at least part of the defendant’s statement was not recorded. So in order to ascertain the technical problem, the court had to stop for a while so that the audit could be carried out.
