The singer Michele Bravi, accused of road homicide, asked to settle a year and a half for the accident of 22 November 2018 in which a 58-year-old girl who was riding a motorcycle died. Milan gup Aurelio Barazzetta postponed the decision to 11 March. The Milan prosecutor had given a favorable opinion to the proposal of plea bargain of the singer, winner of X Factor in 2013 and who participated in Sanremo in 2018 with "The diary of errors", a year and a half in prison with suspension of sentence.

In the meantime, the insurance compensated the victim's family, who therefore left the trial and did not appear as a civil party. After the fact, Bravi disappeared from the scene for a long time and only last October he returned to perform in public. «I have always been one who spoke a lot, the silence frightened me. I started writing songs precisely because it made me so afraid and I preferred to fill it with the melodies I had in my head. Yet I have been months without saying a word, "he said in an interview with Corriere.

Michele Bravi singer asks settle 18 months road murder

Thursday morning, the Association of family members and victims of the road came to the hearing to ask to become a civil party as a form of protest against a "ridiculous proposal that demeans the law on road murder". And again: "The prosecutor opposed our Constitution, saying that this is not an aggravated road murder case and that a case like this could happen to anyone".

"He is living badly, even Michele is a victim of this criminal case because it is a crime that can happen to anyone you can understand his mood: he is destroyed": so Manuel Gabrielli, the singer 's lawyer. The lawyer also claimed that the victim's family members (two brothers were present at the hearing) "have no qualms about the singer who has always behaved correctly. He also wrote a letter two or three months after the accident representing the pain he felt, his closeness and emptiness for what had happened. "

The lawyer clarified that the plea bargaining proposal agreed with the Prosecutor's Office is one and a half years "with suspended sentence". On the amount of compensation to the victim's family, the lawyer said: "They are confidential data that I don't even know. The sum was paid by the insurance company. " And again: "Both as a defender and the public prosecutor of the hearing, we opposed the establishment of a civil party of the National Association of family members and victims of the street, as we believe it is not a bearer of collective interest. The real offended people were all compensated by the insurance company and in this respect the proceeding could easily have ended today ».

According to the Bravi defender, the expert report asked by the prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti showed that the singer had not committed any irregularities on the evening of 22 November 2018, when the accident occurred.

The maneuver was entirely lawful and Bravi did not make a U-turn, however "possible at that point, because there is no solid line". But there is more. The Kawasaki driven by the victim, always according to the expert report, arrived at high speed - according to the expert report it traveled at 79 km per hour - and did not have time to brake: it crashed against the car rental car door Drive Now that Bravi was driving. In practice, the singer could not have seen the bike coming, because he was in the blind corner of his vehicle. The victim was rushed to San Carlo hospital where she died about an hour later. Bravi himself had called for help immediately after the crash.

Last Saturday Michele Bravi reappeared on TV, host of the transmission «Verissimo», and he told how his life changed forever after the tragedy. «When you experience a trauma your body changes and the way you see things. I couldn't hear the others. I was simply somewhere else, I had lost grip with reality. Getting used to the absence of sound for me, who has always told me what I lived through music, was very difficult, "he said to Silvia Toffanin. Bravi said he followed a clinical method for the treatment of major trauma (Emdr): "He saved me and made me go back to talking and hearing."
