_ Some you took for a model.

_ Do you want to live free?

Fourniret trial; a psychiatrist, for his clumsiness, managed to laugh in court. Everyone laughed. Criminal together the families of girls tormented by it. Columnist back on this moment of apparent indecency: "On reflection, the public more plays its game when it horrifies his coldness, his cruelty, his sense of detail, that when he laughed along with him : when Fourniret laughs, he does not enjoy the terror it inspires, there is only one laughing in a crowd of his fellow men. "
Catineau trial; the evidence of a psychiatrist chilled me: "It is exceptional that a man kills his wife twice, I may have seen five cases of this kind in thirty years of expertise."
