Overview

  • Jurors heard that on 13 December 2022 the victim tried to file a complaint in Blois but was told to return the next day, and she was found two hours later gravely injured in her building.
  • Doctors reported weeks in intensive care and two months in a coma, with irreversible damage including major brain lesions, loss of the right eye, severe neurological sequelae, hearing loss and amnesia.
  • Prosecutors say Marvin J. faces life imprisonment for attempted murder, while his defense seeks to contest homicidal intent and argue for a lesser charge based on acknowledged violence.
  • The accused, arrested two days after the assault at his home in the Paris region, has multiple prior convictions, with the victim’s lawyer citing fourteen mentions including violence against a partner.
  • The on‑duty police major who turned the victim away testified and acknowledged an error after being forced into retirement in 2024, as the victim’s family called for a maximum, exemplary sentence and the verdict was set for Friday.
