Dominique Pelicot is expected back in court on Monday, September 15, in the Mazan rape case, where he plays a key role. But the immediate continuation of the trial is uncertain due to his health.
The free core reveals that Dominique Pelicot should be present on Monday, September 16, before the criminal court of Vaucluse, in the trial of the Mazan rape case. The 71-year-old man he had been ill for more than a week and was absent when the proceedings were adjourned on Thursday evening, owing to the inability to hear the main accused.
A presence that ensures a repeat audience? No, according to our colleagues who indicate that uncertainty still looms. “At the moment, there is great uncertainty as to whether Dominique Pelicot will appear at tomorrow's hearing, so an extension of the suspension cannot be ruled out,” announced Me Renaud Camus, Gisèle Pelicot's lawyer.
“His condition is not improving”
Will the central figure in this affair be sufficiently recovered to speak of the facts of which he is accused, as was to be the case last week? Nothing is less certain. His lawyer, Me Béatrice Zavarro, who went to the visiting room to see him, spoke on Saturday. “He arrived in his pajamas, with a fever, his condition is not improving.”
Conformable Provencethe septuagenarian would have also received treatment this Sunday. As a reminder, Dominique Pélicot had obtained a hospital consultation in the middle of last week, said the president of the Vaucluse criminal court. The main accused has been taking medication since then. Enough explaining Monday? Otherwise, the meeting could be adjourned again for a few days. Or even permanently postponed to an unknown date supports The free core.
