On the eve of the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation in the case fernando pastorizzomurdered at dawn on Friday, December 29, 2017 in Gualeguaychú, the psychiatric and psychological expertise of Nahir Galarzasentenced to life imprisonment.
The Court must decide whether to revoke or confirm the ruling, and the reports made by the doctor Enrique Stola (specialist in psychiatry and clinical psychology who revealed the sexual abuse in the “Father Grassi Case”) and a graduate Alice Castro (expert in criminal cases), would be a key piece to understand Galarza’s psyche.
The expertise ignored by the Entre Ríos justice system accounts for a schizophrenia early start, with hallucinations “very present” auditory, visual, kinesthetic (Galarza recounts that she “feels being touched”) and olfactory.
Stola reports in his report a “marked apathy”, with “delusional” thoughts, and a difficulty “understanding the questions”. Galarza presents a “deviated judgment”, an altered perception of reality; accompanied by nightmares associated with traumatic representations: the alleged sexual abuse by an uncle and a forced abortion months before Pastorizzo’s murder.
Jorge Zonzinia former spokesperson for the young woman, reported at the time Galarza’s lack of perception of reality, recounting that, when she left the cell after her visits, she greeted and “said goodbye with a pleasant smile without demonstrations of fear or pain , like i was in disney”.
And although the Stola report highlights that Galarza does not present signs of pictures within the autism spectrum, Zonzini, author of the book “Nahir’s SilenceChronicle of a media lynching stated “, marks that” his brother Aaron had a marked developmental delay and his two half-brothers, their father’s extramarital children, Román and Ignacio, had asperger’s disease.
Galarza’s lawyers insist that the 19-year-old girl at the time of the trial arrived, according to the experts, “in the worst mental health conditions.” without having had medical, psychological and psychopharmacological containment adequate”.
Galarza, who was recently transferred from the Paraná Penal Unit where she is serving a sentence to continue with the procedures for changing her last name, after having accused his father the policeman Marcelo Galarza of being the real murderer of Pastorizzo, he has just fired the lawyer Rachel Hermidaafter expressing that “he is only interested in the cameras and not the truth, and he has placed me hostage to a fanatical feminism to which I do not belong.”
The lawyers Jose Ostolaza and Pablo Sotelowho represent Galarza from the beginning, will be the ones who bring before the Supreme Court the “Federal Extraordinary Appeal”, which denounces “discrimination, arbitrariness, lack of expertise and gender perspective in breach of international conventions on Gender Violence and protection of the woman” in this case.
