Me Battikh now mentions Mila, and first of all her husband who did not want to be there. “He is not ready to forgive. He had the decency not to be there,” underlines the lawyer. As for Mila, present at the hearing and who lost her unborn baby, the lawyer emphasizes that she had “multiple fractures, which could have made her quadriplegic. A depressive and post-traumatic episode, from which she suffered example the American soldiers returning from the war”, he illustrates to underline the suffering of his client.
He then highlights the broken destiny of Soline, the name that Mila and her husband were to give to their unborn little girl, even though she was six and a half months pregnant at the time of the accident. She “was deprived of it. Deprived of a first step, a first word. Of adolescence, of first loves. She will never experience them, any more than her mother. Mila did not imagine that day, give birth to death,” laments the lawyer.
He then returns to the legal void surrounding the loss of an unborn baby. “When you lose your parents, you call it an orphan. But when you lose your child, there are no words. And when you lose a fetus, there is no law,” continues the lawyer.
