(Radio France) The parade of personalities continues at the special criminal court in Paris, with four more suspects … Adel [Haddadi], Mohammed [Amri], Muhammed Usman and Osama Krayem … describing their family and personal backgrounds in Algeria, Belgium, Pakistan and Sweden. For the moment, the court is ignoring the crimes alleged against each man, and especially any question of religious motivation. That will come later.
One moment from Thursday’s hearing might be used to illustrate what has been going on at the special criminal court in Paris this week.
Just before the afternoon break, after two hours of questions about the childhood, schooldays and drug problems of his client Mohammed Amri, the defence lawyer Xavier Nogueras started talking about music.
