To one of his questions to rape victim Fatoumata Barry, Me Sidiki Bérété, Marcel Guilavogui’s lawyer, said that one answer “is not true”. Algassimou Diallo, the prosecutor, asked the parties to observe certain rules related to the protection of victims. But Me Bérété replies that the defense has no observations. And to the judge, Ibrahima Sory 2 Tounkara, to declare that if Me Bérété persists, that he was going to ask him to vacate the room. Disputes!
Coming to the rescue of his colleague, Me Jean-Baptiste Jocamey Haba was also reframed by the court. Suddenly, seized with anger, he shunned the room. He was followed by all the defense lawyers, except Lancinet 3 Doumbouya and Me Paul Yomba Kourouma, lawyers for Aboubacar Sidiki Diaki dit Toumba.
The civil party and the public prosecutor asked the court to suspend the hearing, which took place at 1:30 p.m., by decision of Judge Ibrahima Sory 2 Tounkara.
