They have advanced a block, all six, facing the criminal court for minors Rennes. But only one of the lawyers Daniel Legrand, 33, tried for three weeks to sexual assault and rape of minors in meeting the prejudice of brothers Delay, spoke Thursday. To say why, as they had already done in the appeal trial in Paris in 2005, they finally gave up pleading.
No need to add more. Following a two-hour closing argument, Advocate General Stéphane Cantero had indeed request the acquittal of their client. Not because it would “doubt” because “Daniel Legrand is innocent” has he passionately insisted. Because he has “nothing.”
clear and blue polo look, the young man faces him. Acquitted in 2005 in the same case, he, for three weeks, found the dock. Ten years later.
“rebuilt Souvenirs, false memories”
And recent accusations son Delay? “I can assure that he was there” testified without further clarification Jonathan, 21, also citing “images” which he sees with his parents (Myriam Badaoui, Thierry Delay and a couple of neighbors were sentenced in this case). In the apartment on the 5th floor of the Tower of Renard Outreau. One whose court showed pictures. As one showing dozens of pornographic video tapes stored in the TV cabinet.
His brother Sharif, 25, was also accused Daniel Legrand. After indicating that he was present “as a victim,” he mentioned aggression, “a scene” of “flashes”. While none of Delay son had previously blamed, Dimitri, 23, either without entering into details, wore accusations of sexual abuse against the accused. “It is time that it calls into question ‘has he hit him.
” false memory “
So many” reconstructed memories, false memories “according Advocate General Stéphane Cantero. To put on the account of the trauma of violence against siblings. For that, psychologically, lived in the proceedings in which they have been “forgotten.” Besides their numerous placements in foster families, and their wandering to the majority. Upon hearing this, Jonathan Delay, black and light-colored shirt jacket, leaves the courtroom.
Involving responsibility for their mother who, like the three other convicts, assured before the Assize Court for minors of Rennes Daniel Legrand had not participated in the rape, the Advocate General said. Pointed out the many mistakes of the case and instruction. Collective confrontations? “Worse than Kafka. It goes crazy.” Appraisals? “Caricatured” …. So many “incredible” things in a case where “nothing happened as usual.” Finally, there has been “an error of the judiciary as a whole”.
Children are they lying? “No, they are wrong,” says the Advocate General, for which “it is trying to help them as (a) to make them understand.”
“I feel hurt”
Words obviously difficult to hear for Jonathan Delay, civil party like its brothers Sharif and Dimitri. “I feel hurt … It’s a shame” was he given soon after. “He told me that I was wrong person but does he have the right to look me in the eye and tell me I was wrong? Was he present when there were all these injury offense house? “
On Wednesday night and Thursday morning, his lawyers argued the contrary, they, the guilt of the accused. Emphasizing in particular the confessions made by Daniel Legrand during the investigation, in late 2001. As the letter he had sent to the judge Fabrice Burgaud evoking the murder of a girl whom he said he had attended. Before retracting two months later, claiming to have invented everything hoping to draw attention to the absurdity of the file. Explanations that do not always convince the civil party lawyers.
On Thursday morning, Sylvain Cormier, Jonathan’s lawyer, did not hide his “trouble”. Pointing to the “curse” of a case “where all seems crazy,” the lawyer stressed the “staging, the confusing explanation” then provided by Daniel Legrand. “Why bother to give as much verisimilitude?” The judge Burgaud and critics of rain on his instruction? “A bit easy to make a scapegoat”. Before his colleague Patrice Reviron returns to turn on the same confession. For him, asserting that the record is that of a family drama with a couple of neighbors is wrong. “This is the first time I am civil party and they attack me as if I was trying to defend defense the worst bastards. All is inverted in this case.”
“It’s time to get your life back”
Since the box, Daniel Legrand seeks from time to time the eyes of his family present in the room. “It is time that Daniel Legrand finds a life, his mother and sister” -his father, who bore the same name as him and was also a paid Outreau, died in 2012- also said the Advocate General , before turning to Delay brothers. Only Jonathan, back in the room, is present. “It is time that you also regain your life, really, you deserve it.”
On Friday morning, the last words will be those of the accused. Before leaving jurors deliberate. Daniel Legrand know what he will say. He knows only that he “let his heart speak.”
