(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 30 - A court on Wednesday handed Antonio
Ciontoli a 14-year-old jail term for the homicide of his
daughter's boyfriend Marco Vannini, a young man who died in
agony of his injuries after being accidentally shot at
Ciontoli's house at Ladispoli on the Roman coast in May 2015.
The 20-year-old would probably have survived but Ciontoli and
the rest of his family repeatedly delayed calling the emergency
services.
Ciontoli's wife, Maria Pezzillo , his son Federico and his
daughter Martina, Vannini's girlfriend, got prison terms of nine
months, four years.
The supreme court ordered a retrial after widespread public
dismay when the sentence of Ciontoli, who shot Vannini, was
reduced to five years on appeal.
The other family members had been handed three-year terms.
"I ask forgiveness for what I did and also for what I did not
do," Antonio Ciontoli told the court before the verdict.
"I know I'm not the victim, but the only one who is responsible
for this tragedy". (ANSA).
