(Radio France) The end of this extraordinary judicial process is now in sight. After eight months of evidence, explanation and questions, the court trying 14 men suspected of various levels of complicity in the November 2015 attacks will now listen to the testimony of the hurt, the bereaved and the psychologically damaged.
The victims have been given a special place at this trial.
Last autumn, the court allocated five emotionally charged weeks to the hearing of testimony from the injured and the bereaved.
The court president, Jean-Louis Périès, allowed each witness to take the time required. Périès was patient, concerned and benevolent.
No one was reprimanded for repetition or digression.
