At the heart of the proceedings, emotion was palpable at the mention of the girl’s death, described as an excellent student much appreciated. Her mother, Samira Fadil, delivered a poignant testimony before an assembly united in grief, punctuated by the sobs of loved ones. "She was the one who brought life and joy to our home," she whispered from the witness stand.

This tragic loss completely shattered the daily life of this family, who had to face an impossible grief in their usual environment. The parents explained that they were forced to sell their house, as the memories of their daughter had become unbearable in their daily lives.

From the outset of the tragedy, maternal instinct had guided the victim’s mother, who quickly understood the malfunction without being told anything, by retracing the sequence of events. Faced with this pain, the prosecution requested two years in prison with probation against the nurse, as well as two years in prison and 250,000 euros in fines, of which 100,000 with probation, against the hospital, while the defense demands acquittal.
