4:26 p.m. : Emilie’s mother*: “I think he played his game well, handled well, you can’t become a person like that in two or three months, not even in a year. She feels ‘disgust, anger”. #Lelandais #Maelys
4:26 p.m. : What does she expect from this trial? “To know why he did this to his goddaughter and his niece. And that he gives the real truth to the parents of #Maelys, why he put her in his car. It was not to show him the dogs with what there was on our children, it’s not possible.”
