(Radio France) On Wednesday, the Special Criminal Court where the Paris terror trial is taking place listened to the closing arguments of lawyers representing the survivors and the families of victims, and those who chose not to join the collective presentation organised last week by dozens of their colleagues.
They spoke on behalf of bereaved families, of orphans, of those who escaped physical injury but don’t have the emotional resources to appear themselves.
They spoke with dignity and professionalism. All but one respected the time limit of 20 minutes.
They represented the parents and family of Anne-Laure, 36 years old when she was shot dead at the Belle Équipe bar; the mother of Élodie, 23, dead at the Bataclan; the family of Paul, 17 at the time, who survived the Bataclan attack in which his sister Suzon lost her life; the family of Germain, 36, the night he died, the father of a little girl who is now nearly 8 years old.
