“She will have nothing… This is unacceptable. I think she deserves punishment, she deserves jail, and shut up, so she can realize her mistake. There are six children who are dead, 17 wounded… But do you realize? It is enormous !“, loose under the anger Nassera.
“We, our children had a hard time building themselves up, isn’t that hard too? We mustn’t be the wrong victim!”

Same indignation at Nathalie, mother of another victim, who is convinced that the driver will never find herself behind the walls of a prison: “It’s not enough because she won’t go.” This hot anger was also recalled during the requisitions. The prosecutor insisted: children’s lives were taken, lives destroyed.
But opposite, the defense lawyer asked for the release. “There is no evidence of the driver’s responsibility or guilt. You have heard the scientists who demonstrate that there is a significant discrepancy between certain testimonies and scientific and technical findings“, defends Me Jean Codognès.
The deliberation of the trial will be delivered on November 18, at the Marseilles court. Nadine Oliveira, the only defendant, was absent from the requisitions due to her hospitalization after illness on the fourth day of the trial. She has always maintained that she did not break through the barriers at the level crossing.
The prosecutor also requested against her the definitive ban on having a professional and social activity related to road transport as well as a professional activity related to children.
