—I would like to look into my daughter’s eyes. It makes me sad to see him like this.
“I’ll never come to see you again, Dominic!” You will be left alone like a dog!
It was nine thirty in the morning when a tense conversation echoed in the courtroom of the Avignon Court.

“I know what I did and what I didn’t do”
Beatrice Zevro, a 55-year-old lawyer who is in charge of defending the case of a man considered “one of the worst sex offenders of the last 20 years” in France, took the reins of that inquiry. This was the moment when the good skills of this charismatic lawyer with short stature and short white hair in criminal law were noticed. “Can you tell me about your relationship with Caroline?” “When they did the tooth operation, I went to the hospital at six in the morning (…). I remember during the holidays I saved him from someone who was beating him. “If I took her and went to the nightclub to look for her, it was because I was afraid something would happen to her,” Pellicote explained. As she recalled those moments, Caroline’s face turned red and her eyes watered.
As his eldest son David said on Monday, the horrors committed by Dominic not only “devastated his family” but also raised a shadow of doubt over his actions, for which there is no credible evidence. . Investigators discovered that the lead defendant had thousands of pornographic images and videos on his computer Semi-nude photo of his daughter while sleeping. “I know what I did and what I didn’t do,” Pellicott said. His defense is that he was not the author of that imageAccording to his version, he found it in a video camera “which he had not used for years.”
“I can’t add anything more, I can’t tell her anything: she (Caroline) will never believe me. I’m going to die like a dogThe mastermind of this conspiracy declared, “I am not asking you to come and stand behind my coffin, because there will be no coffin.” When his lawyer suggested he dedicate some last words to Gisele, Pellicott made a strangely argumentative refrain in which he insisted that he had never touched his children. His insistence that he did not commit child sexual abuse has been one of his passions during the more than two-month trial.
