Update on the latest days of hearings in the Pelicot Case, in which our partner Antoine Camus is representing Gis\u00e8le Pelicot and her family.<\/p>\n
On Monday, September 30, the trial, known as the \u201cMazan Rapes\u201d case, entered its fifth week before the Avignon Criminal Court.<\/p>\n
The hearings resumed, focusing on the examination of the co-defendants’ personalities, as well as the presentation of images and videos submitted as key evidence in the case.<\/p>\n
While a full closed-door trial was dismissed on the first day, the court president nevertheless regulated the display of the images. As a result, he decided to exclude the public and the press from the latest presentations and the debates that followed at the end of last week.<\/p>\n
As Antoine Camus emphasized in the France 5 documentary \u201cEn soci\u00e9t\u00e9,\u201d this trial is “historic because it is public, in accordance with the wishes of Gis\u00e8le Pelicot, who wanted it to be so in order to spark change.”<\/p>\n
