JUSTICE Experts and specialists in neurology doctors have succeeded at the helm of Bordeaux Criminal Court on Monday. ..
The medical profession is far from agreed. Number of its representatives were heard Monday by the court, which considers ten defendants suspected of abuse of weakness to the prejudice of Liliane Bettencourt, heiress of L’Oreal, 2006-2011.
The capacity for discernment of the old lady, 92 years old, are at the heart of the debate since during the five years she has made many donations and appoint François-Marie Banier, the main accused, as his sole heir. She was then in possession of all these means? This is the question that experts and specialists tried to answer Monday
& gt; & gt; Here the place of the hearing
The panel of experts considers achieving disorders since 2006
In June 2011, a college five experts commissioned by the investigating judges will carry out an expertise in Neuilly, the home of Liliane Bettencourt, then aged 88 years.
To them, at that time, cognitive decline is obvious. And in support of the record, they date the beginning of cognitive disorders in 2006. It was at that moment, after a fall in the Balearic Islands, she had been hospitalized. The doctors then noticed while a state of confusion.
There would also have memory problems in 2001 and “abnormalities on imaging in 2002 questioning the decline in intellectual abilities, found out later,” says Sophie Cromb an expert . They believe that degenerative disease is at work since at least 2007 and speak with “ mixed dementia mixing Azheilmer lesions and vascular lesions.”
The defense for his part said that the study of Dr. Yves Agid has not been included in the first report of the experts. “It is a leader in neurology who said there is no specific cognitive reveal a pathology,” said the defense. “The report (Dr. Agid) has very few figures and it is very informative, “said one of the experts, before concluding on the presence of a disorder manifested judgment during the period that interests the court.
Deafness as an aggravating circumstance
The discussions then focused on the hearing of the billionaire. ENT assured that she is suffering from “profound deafness.” A disputed by the defense version that reported stories of people who managed to contact her without intermediaries. “But it is enough that a little sound or she turns her head to that understanding is disturbed,” pointed ENT expert.
“In 2006, 2007 and 2008, there was no dementia proved, in the sense that it was not addictive in all the events of daily life, said one of the experts . But then she had mild cognitive impairment, which associated with deafness, placed it in a fragile situation. “
Disagreements a neurologist and neuropsychiatrist
The neurologist Bernard Lawrence, whom the defense requested to analyze the documents, challenged the beginning of dementia in the billionaire in 2006. For him, his confused state was only temporary. It ensures that dementia began in late 2010.
Michel Poncet, neuropsychiatrist Marseille retired in 2008, was then called to the stand. He intervened in 2012 to give its opinion, also at the request of the defense. “For me, it was not Alzheimer’s disease. It is difficult to assess the ability to decide, but I think I can say that his abilities were impaired in December 2010 but certainly not in 2009, “said neuropsychiatrist.
