(ANSA) Rome, October 9 - An Italian magistrate who referred
to a girl's breasts as "tits" in official documents was
"uncouth" but should not undergo disciplinary proceedings, the
supreme Court of Cassation ruled Monday.
The supreme court made the unusual ruling following a
complaint that a prosecuting magistrate from Torre Annunziata
wrote in an indictment of two men that they had touched the
"tits" of an underage girl.
"This is a term belonging to common and colloquial uncouth
language but it does not carry a specific connotation of
vulgarity," the Cassation judges said.
