(Radio France) The past week at the Paris terror trial has been devoted to the summing-up by the lawyers who represent hundreds of “parties civiles,” the families of the injured survivors, and those who lost loved ones in the November 2015 attacks. An essential legal exercise which has inspired many questions and some criticism.
This concluding phase of the trial opened last week with pleading by the legal professionals who represent the victims, a last chance to formalise their clients’ grief.
The problem is that we have already heard from the victims themselves. And they were terribly eloquent.
In total, this trial has devoted six harrowing weeks to hearing the testimony of those for whom the night of 13 November 2015 was the end of a previous life.
