French crime writer Fred Vargas
told ANSA Wednesday that despite Cesare Battisti's admitting to
four murders in the Years of Lead the former leftist terrorist
was still innocent in her view.
Battisti's admission of guilt "does not change my
conclusions as a researcher, I still think he is innocent," she
said.
"I have nothing to apologise for," said the woman who has
defended Battisti for years, "I don't think I have defended a
murderer, its the last thing I would do. Unfortunately it's sad
because they'll all take me for an imbecile but it's so".
