Quotes
-
Avocat général : Would you say the music Mr. Maleski played so aggressively indicated he was jealous of you, or Miss... Ms. Solidor? Sorry. The music was a cover of 50 Cent's P.I.M.P., a deeply misogynistic song.
Maître Nour Boudaoud : It was an instrumental version.
-
Zoé Solidor : It's hard to read the intentions of someone you can't see.
Avocat général : That's what they pay me for!
-
Avocat général : Hearing the conversation now, with hindsight, would you call it seduction?
Zoé Solidor : I felt, and she told me herself, that she didn't have much of a social life or many chances to talk to new people. I suppose you could call that a form of seduction.
Avocat général : The court needs to know if you would call it that.
Zoé Solidor : Seduction means several things.
Avocat général : But the word seduction always implies some... seduction.
Maître Vincent Renzi : The witness's answer is clear enough, as to what she means by seduction.
-
Sandra Voyter : I didn't want to be seen as guilty.
Avocat général : As no guilty person ever does.
-
Avocat général : You call the violent blow hypothesis 'improbable.' Would you call it impossible?
Experte Bogaert : No, but highly improbable.
Avocat général : Meaning it is possible.
Experte Bogaert : As it's possible I'll be president someday.
-
Maître Nour Boudaoud : A novel is not life! An author is not her characters.
Avocat général : But an author can express herself through her characters. You flagged this passage. How can we not see a link?
Maître Vincent Renzi : Is Stephen King a serial killer?
Avocat général : Did his wife turn up dead in suspicious circumstances?
Maître Vincent Renzi : Focus on the facts!
Présidente du tribunal : Mr. Renzi, I strongly advise you to calm down. Prosecutor, I advise you to follow Mr. Renzi's advice. Focus on the facts.
-
Avocat général : I'd like to read from one of Ms. Voyter's recent books, The Black House.
Maître Nour Boudaoud : We judge facts, not books. Judge, this is a slippery slope.
Avocat général : In 2017, Sandra Voyter herself declared, and I quote, 'My books are linked to my life and those in it.'
Maître Nour Boudaoud : Objection! She's always said her work is fiction.
Avocat général : First book is her mother's death! Second, a rift with her father. Third, her son's accident, etc. Her books are part of this trial. Her life is in them, her relationship in particular.
-
Sandra Voyter : Now, with hindsight, it seems possible that he could have provoked this fight just to record it.
Avocat général : Wait, are you implying you're the victim of a twisted man?
Maître Nour Boudaoud : Seriously? He recorded her in secret. It's a valid question. You forget the situation is perverse.
Avocat général : Now the victim is on trial!
