Overview
- After the court examined the last two files, Frédéric Péchier used his final interrogation to repeat that he is not the poisoner.
- He is on trial for 30 alleged poisonings between 2008 and 2017, including 12 deaths, after nearly three months of hearings.
- He acknowledged that 12 patients were poisoned according to expert reports but denied any involvement and said several other cases were medical errors.
- He rejected the potassium-infusion theory in two 2016 incidents, citing anaphylactic shock and a gas embolism as alternative medical causes and noting expert disagreement.
- As the personality phase opened, a police investigator portrayed him as manipulative with traits seen in serial offenders and floated personal vulnerabilities as possible motives, while he remains free and faces a potential life sentence with a decision due by December 19.
