knew Stancanelli told of his childhood in Jewell Plaza. He played rugby and hockey it, telling a chance encounter he had, a few blocks from the court in 1976, in Orono and St. Louis. "He was alone, I was with a colleague, Gonzalo Barrios, just around the corner we went across the street from St. Louis to take the bus. We talked very frivolously. I said "how beautiful you are, I'm going to college, you still playing hockey," and keep walking towards Mendoza and cross Orono.
Then the witness recalled that while waiting for the bus in front of the Mercy College, heard gun shots. "I hide in a doorway as a kiosquito Righi-told-and I see Alex running towards Alvear, lame, and behind him were people pulling shots. It falls to the ground in front of a very nice house before reaching Alvear, on the street. I see you pull up a gun, a revolver. " Righi
then added: "I wanted out, screaming. The boy who was with me holding me. We went quietly up to Orono, and then to Rioja. I did not know anything until the other day, I read Alexander was killed and found with a weapon. I did not see that he had a gun, it pulled over, was killed. "
Third was the turn of the former detainee Marta Bertolino. The witness gave one of the most extensive trial testimony, began around 16 and just finished at 21. Bertolino told the "family tragedy" that had to live, after the arrest and subsequent disappearance of his partner, Oscar Manzur, details his own kidnapping, the terrible tortures to which he was subjected during her advanced pregnancy in the SI, and delivery inhumane conditions endured under that sinister captivity.

Manzur, which these days is nine months pregnant, she reviewed the last family history which he lived, he referred to the stories her mother shared with them about his birth, and recounted memories about your own life during and after the arrest of his mother.
"My mother Marta Alejandra Bertolino," he began, "pregnant de mí de ocho meses, junto a mi padre fueron secuestrados el 10 de agosto de 1976 y fueron llevados al SI de la Jefatura de Policía, donde fueron salvajemente torturados. Yo no tengo memoria de esto, tengo el relato de mi madre. Mi madre me cuenta que por dos días escuchó las quejas de mi padre que estaba junto a ella y en un momento escucho “nena, me muero”, y no lo escucho más. Ella siguió siendo torturada e interrogada”.
La testigo relató luego que “el 3 de septiembre de 1976 mi madre rompe bolsa y antes de llevarla a la Maternidad Martin la amenazan con que el bebe que iba a nacer, que soy yo, iba a ser desaparecido porque ella tiene que seguir siendo interrogada”.
Then Alexander gave a harsh description of how he was born in the possession of genocide: "There were police guarding inside and outside the room. The obstetrician, in an act of courage, at some point guards made for the custody and can give me birth. It was September 4, 1976. The two doctors who were there and the nurse, trying to help and I booked, a nurse calls a phone, which my grandparents were aware of this situation. The first two and half days of my life I spend in that room without giving me any food and she could not breastfeed me. Then go to the Prison Unit 5 of Rosario, a semi legalization then Villa Devoto, until they turn six months. On March 7, 1977 I separated from my mother and I have with my grandparents. " Alejandra
told then went to the house of his maternal grandparents. "With my grandfather Pocho, my grandmother and my Uncle Bill Rina, in the home, these three people gave me all the love, affection and restraint needed to survive without this would have been impossible to live," the witness recalled, who also mentioned that his uncle Edward, his mother's twin, was also imprisoned in the jail Coronda.
The witness rang the fibers of the judges and the audience was left in the room-at that point of the day was nearly 22, the night when he spoke about communicating with her mother in custody in Devoto. "The letters came every week, letters from my mom full of drawings. My grandparents read to me. The visits were every two or three months or four, and were through a booth, I could record very tiny bit of all that, "recalled Alejandra.
