Hearing of M. Phesans Bertrand, a clinical psychologist. On the last day of the second week, a new expert, Mr. Bertrand Phesans is consulted at the request of the defense of Mr. Simbikangwa, dissatisfied with that of Madame Sironi, which was heard yesterday.

The day begins with the testimony of Ms. Anne Soussy, medical examiner responsible for the medical examination of the accused. His report will bring little revelations about Pascal Simbikangwa. The only interesting question was whether he could use crutches to get around. Without being completely categorical, rather it suggests that it is possible for someone who has enough strength.
