Baby crushed by a flower pot, teacher of religion acquitted on appeal.

AGI - The Trieste Court of Appeal acquitted priest and religion teacher Ioan Marginean Cocis at the second-degree trial for the death of Penelope Cossaro, the 7-year-old girl crushed by a water pitcher on November 21, 2019, during a catechism lesson in the Santa Chiara church at the Uccellis residential school in Udine.

The acquittal of school principal Anna Maria Zilli, previously decided in the first instance, was also confirmed. The ruling thus partially overturns the verdict of the Udine Tribunal, which had sentenced Father Ioan to 2 years and 4 months for manslaughter.

The family's reaction
Laura Libanetti, Penelope’s mother, expressed extreme anger. The woman described the decision as shameful, hoping for a possible appeal to the Supreme Court by the Prosecution, as the family had not joined as a civil party in the appeal, but had chosen the civil court route for compensation.

Baby killed by a water basin during a catechism lesson, priest acquitted on appeal.

It was 2019 when a 7-year-old girl died in the church of the Educandato Uccellis in Udine after being struck in the chest by a water jug that had fallen during a religion lesson. Today, after the first-degree sentence had condemned him to 2 years and 4 months for manslaughter, the priest and religion teacher Ioan Marginean Cocis was acquitted by the Trieste Court of Appeal. The school principal, Anna Maria Zilli, was also confirmed acquitted – already decided in the first instance.

Because the little Penelope Cossaro was participating in an after-school activity, the then school principal and the religious director of the institution were investigated for negligence and imprudence in supervising the safety and well-being of the student.

For Laura Libanetti, the mother of the little girl, the decision is “shameful”: “For the Italian justice system, no one is responsible for the death of my daughter. I left her in a school and she never came home.” The woman hoped for a possible appeal by the Public Prosecutor's Office to the Supreme Court, since the family had not joined as a civil party in the appeal but had chosen the civil trial route for compensation. The first hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
