Millas drama trial: a civil party lawyer points out “the lack of dignity of the defense”

During the pleadings of the victims’ lawyers, Me Raymond Escalé attacked the defense strategy of the bus driver’s lawyers.

Open criticism between lawyers is rather rare during hearings. Me Raymond Escalé, former president of the bar of the Pyrénées-Orientales, has also conceded that he never does. However, this Tuesday, during his pleading in the civil part, he split an attack against “an unworthy defense strategy”, he denounced, at the place of his Perpignan colleague Me Jean Codognes and Me Louis Fagnez.

We lawyers have full freedom in our strategic choice, but this freedom must be marked by a few ethical rules, which are the dignity and respect of the person we are defending, dignity and respect for the court, dignity and respect for the victims. continued M.e Climbed up, castigating a “procedural chaos” and “a stolen trial”.

“I did not like the positioning of the defense in the face of this request for recusal of the president of the court. What is this trial of intent? And then second misunderstanding, we are told that Mrs. Oliveira will not be able to not attend this trial without any explanation. We want answers, she is not there, we do not know where she is and we have to settle for that. I do not understand, as a lawyer, where is the strategy. But I want to think of it as several simple blunders.”

“We will answer him in our pleadings, replied M.e Codognes to the adjournment. What I find unworthy for a civil party lawyer is to disregard the rights of the defence, the freedom of the defence, the freedom of argument, the freedom of strategy. That lawyers can forget this democratic foundation is serious and unworthy of the dress they wear.
