Her lawyer, Me Mikaël Saunier, coached her well. Samira Habri has nothing to add before the Moselle Assize Court withdraws to deliberate and close with a new sentence, the assassination attempt of November 9, 2016 that the Nancy assizes have already repressed by 15 years of seclusion.
The Mury-et-Moselle court did not believe in the story of the burglary of his apartment in Vandeuvre-lès-Nancy by two strangers in hoods and a 15-year-old girl. It turned out to be a little big that the girl jumped on purpose out of the kitchen window, at 4e floor, to escape the police after falling from 11 meters. The Moselle jurors have as much difficulty as the preceding ones, to buy into this version that Samira served to them during the three days of her appeal trial. Rather, the findings, the investigation and the debates see the victim miraculously surviving an assassination attempt.

“Ready for anything for his daughter”, according to experts
Why kill her? To avenge his daughter, herself a minor and humiliated three days earlier by the complainant during a fight. Samira persists, refuses to take a step towards judicial truth which President Faltot points out the way for her in a final interrogation. She gets bogged down when Advocate General Christelle Dumont places her in front of her contradictions. “Let’s end it!” “, Thunders Me Alexandre Bouthier for the civil party. “I am tired of the attitude of the accused” and his “torrent of bullshit […] She takes us for idiots ”, he blurted out before crucifying Samira:“ A mother who wants to kill a teenage girl, we touch the end of the end of humanity. […] For her, violence is a reflex ”. But after all, could “this act which is beyond comprehension” arise from altered discernment? “Asks Christelle Dumont who answers her own question:“ No ”.
The public prosecutor agrees with the opinion of two of the three psychiatrists considering that Samira, “ready to do anything for her daughter”, acted in full conscience. It’s worth 20 years. “She has the right to maintain her statements, to defend herself as she sees fit”, even at the cost of her inconsistencies, defends Me Saunier for whom the facts are not characterized. “We don’t know what happened in the apartment […] I do not know where the truth is ”, pleads the council while advancing on the ground of a doubt profitable to its client and of a little understanding. The court heard it differently by pronouncing 15 years. Like in Nancy.
