"German - said the criminal lawyer, referring to the inner torment of his client who accused the two co-defendants after years of silence - he walked a lonely and impervious path, unconsciously representing the smallest and weakest washer of a huge and powerful gear that for once he rotated out of phase, he tried to stop this mechanism but was inexorably overwhelmed and invested "
