Monique Olivier, the ex-wife and accomplice of serial killer Michel Fourniret, is currently on trial for complicity in the murders of several women. During her first interrogation, she maintained that she wants to help the victims' families but refused to provide details about the crimes. Olivier claimed that Fourniret was solely responsible for the murders and that she had no decision-making power. However, the lawyers representing the victims' families questioned her statements and highlighted the contradictions in her testimony.
The trial continues with further interrogations and testimonies from investigators and the examining magistrate. The proceedings aim to shed light on Olivier's role in the crimes and determine the extent of her complicity. The court will also examine the failures of the justice system in addressing and preventing these murders.
Psychologists involved in the trial have provided insights into Monique Olivier's character and actions. They described her as the ex-wife of Michel Fourniret and painted a negative picture of her. New disturbing details about her role were revealed, including her involvement in checking the virginity of children. Questions arise about who she is, why she participated in Fourniret's perverse game, and whether she was the initiator. Olivier is the only person who can provide answers about the murders of Estelle Mouzin, Marie-Angèle Domèce, and Joanna Parrish. She has apologized to the victims' families, although the apologies are seen as empty and insincere. Psychologist Gauthier Pirson describes Olivier as always being alone and buried in darkness. The sister of Estelle Mouzin pleads with Olivier to confess and highlights her lack of maternal instincts and abandonment of her children.
The trial is taking place in the Hauts-de-Seine region of France, where the couple committed some of their crimes. Alongside this trial, other trials have been held in France, including those involving perpetrators of forced prostitution and fatal stabbings. A police officer involved in the death of a young person has been released on bail, and a family has testified about the violent kidnapping of their children.
Two years after meeting Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the November 13th attacks, lawyer Olivia Ronen is appointed as his defense attorney. She initially works alongside experienced lawyers Frank Berton and Sven Mary, but they both leave the case, leaving Ronen alone to defend Abdeslam. The pressure mounts as the trial approaches, and Ronen immerses herself in the 500-volume investigation file. The file presents Abdeslam as one of the co-authors of the attacks, with the same level of responsibility as the other members of the Islamist commandos. The trial is expected to last ten months, and Ronen confides in a young colleague, Martin Vettes, for support. As the trial approaches, Ronen's name becomes prominent in the press, and she is contacted for interviews, but she remains silent until the trial begins.
In a podcast episode titled 'Le poids du silence' by Europe 1, lawyer Olivia Ronen discusses her feelings about the trial of Salah Abdeslam. Ronen is unsure of Abdeslam's position and whether he will speak in court. As the trial progresses, tensions rise between Abdeslam, the judges, and Ronen. Eventually, Ronen decides to leave the courtroom, causing the trial to be halted. The podcast episode provides insights into Ronen's perspective and the challenges she faces in defending Abdeslam.
The investigating chamber of the Dijon Court of Appeal has ordered new DNA comparisons and a feasibility study of vocal expertise in the case of little Grégory Villemin. The comparisons will be made with the DNA of several people in the family. Grégory's parents are seeking the truth and want justice to use all possible means to achieve it. They have requested DNA profiles of several individuals involved in the case. They are also considering vocal audiometry investigations based on the crow's recordings. Grégory was found dead of asphyxiation in Vologne on October 16, 1984.
French former childcare worker Sophie Rollet conducted a decade-long investigation into auto equipment group Goodyear after her husband died in a collision linked to the company's tires. Rollet linked the tire model, Goodyear Marathon LHS II, to multiple accidents in France and Europe. Authorities recently raided Goodyear sites as part of a probe into involuntary manslaughter. Rollet's determination and findings were compared to Erin Brockovich, and her investigation prompted another whistleblower to provide internal documents suggesting Goodyear was aware of defects and tried to cover them up. Rollet feels a sense of achievement and relief but acknowledges that justice won't be perfect and not all victims can be identified. She is now training to become an accountant but still occasionally speaks about her case.
