The judge enters. Please rise up.
Please sit.
My name is Omar Saved and I was a gardener.
I was born July 1, 1962 in Beni Cheikh Ben Tayeb, Rif, Morocco.
I am the second child in a family of six children.
In August 1962 my father moved to Cannes to become a gardener.
He came to our home in the summers during the holidays.
Mom chose to have me by her so I could help her.
I went shopping and watered for the whole family.
My older brother went to school.
But not me. I never got learn to read and write.
OMAR KILLED ME
Omar rescued sentenced to 18 years in prison for the murder of Ghislaine Marchal.
The jury saw extenuating circumstances The accused had merely said:
"It was not me who killed Mrs. Marchal. She was like my mother."
"I am not involved in it." Report of the Auditors...
The victim's family is pleased with the decision based on facts.
Wise verdict worthy French judicial judiciary but however painful context of.
100 years ago was convicted a young officerför that he was a Jew.
Today condemn a gardener because he is from North Africa.
- The investigation might have its flaws - Deficiencies ?! Mildly.
Why did the family Marchal a human rights lawyer?
- An excellent lawyer. - Leftist and anti-racism.
- Family right. Well a bit fishy? - Rather clever thinking.
François right.
You forget that his sister is married Chairman of the Bar Association.
There's a lot for a Moroccan so appropriately identified by the victim.
"18 years of extenuating circumstances." So you should have a clear conscience.
Next right.
- From book reviewer to lagrecensent? - Cultivated victims who christened the house...
... "La Chamade" after Sagan's novel doing in the last kraftansträngning-
- an incredible typo by add a letter. Absurd!
- They get enough of your sudden crusade - Sudden crusade ? Me ?
Since 20 years I'm fighting against injustice. I have attacked oljebolag-
- Defended against prostitutes polishallickar. Read my articles.
- I never backs for the necessary battle - just write a book about it and shut up
Mathilde's right, a crusade to rescue a Muslim, it sells.
Three years earlier...
TOULON 25 JUNE ,1991
I was afraid Karim would be black sick, but he still plays with him.
Your brother never let me touch you.
- Papa, look. The police! - We are entering.
Hello, we are from the police. Is Omar living here?
Omar saved, is it you? Please come along to the police station.
- We would like to ask some questions. - What about it?
We'll just ask a few questions. Do not worry.
Just a few questions, we do not put even in handcuffs. Calm down.
- I see what they want and then comes. - Do not worry.
No marks on the right arm. And the left... nor.
None behind the ear, no damage.
None at all, no bumps on the head.
No scratch marks. Not a single mark.
Why did you kill Mrs. Marchal?
- Mrs. Marchal? - Mrs. Marchal. You understand well?
- You work with her. - Yes, I work with Mrs. Marchal.
- Why did you kill her? - Looks after the garden.
- Mrs. Marchal very kind. - See here.
Take the photo and look at it. It is from the basement.
- Do you recognize her? - Is it Mrs. Marchal?
Watch the door. Can you read?
Your name. You may well read your name? She wrote it with his blood.
- "Omar Killed Me." - My name.
You are in France since 1985. Six years.
You are not an idiot. You speak French well?
This Sunday... I work... wife Rascal.
During lunch, you went to Marchal and put the gear in the basement.
- That's when you killed her. - You wanted to get an advance on salary.
Not the first time you asked for it. Liliane Receveau said it. Cleaning Helper.
She said you are often asked for an advance.
- The wife wondered where the money went - I do not understand.
- No speak Arabic here. - What did you do? If you play at the casino?
- Yes. - Yes, what?
- Slot machines. - You needed cash but she said no.
- You got angry or stole from her. - I do not understand.
Sundays, it is not Mrs. Marchal.
Raw morning I worked at wife Rascal.
I ate lunch at home and then went back to the wife Rascal.
That's it, saved! Look what you've done! See how she looks!
I've been thinking about your book on your friend Omar. Not a bad idea at all.
Control Survey, kind Truman Capote.
- Sold this good? - Very good.
I pejlade bit and noticed that people were attracted.
Addition... becomes your lines topical.
- A little too much, right? - How so? Some people think you are...
... so romantic, beyond reality - I have not only written history.
So that people see you. Your project on female painter... will be no success.
- Why are you giving me an advance? - Loyal. Wait for it, not with Omar.
It is well something you kännerför? Deal with it, then.
Here's lawyer Vergès number. Health from me. He is prepared.
A friend.
Your approach amazes me. Though I support you, of course.
A man who you can help my client's cause.
- A man like me? - Less suspicious than I...
... which still takes hopeless cases. - "No one has a monopoly on the heart."
Especially today where humanism means compromising their principles.
- Bill... - Yes, the lawyer.
Your inquiry will be helpful. I need again to get new trial.
If I can get people to become voluble...
In the morning you get all documents, from the interrogation and trial transcripts.
- Enough to fill several books. - Thank you.
- Can I meet Omar saved? - I'm afraid he delude themselves.
Omar is my first one is innocent. I care about him.
Did you know that the police found the camera with images Wife Marchal took before she died?
No. What was it in the pictures?
They were destroyed before I got access to the material.
"Not of importance to the investigation."
- Should I drive you? - Thank you, I will not go far. Goodbye.
Cannet-Rocheville RADDADS APARTMENT 27 JUNI 1991
The clothes you had when you were working wife of Rascal... Where are they?
This...
- Work? - No blood stains.
- Are they clean? - Have you washed them?
Have you washed them in the machine? Hand?
Not washed. The machine, my wife. Sunday...
Yes, she was in Toulon. But you washed your clothes?
- They have not been washed. - The day of the clothes, Monday.
And the shoes... The shoes you were wearing last Sunday?
- Where are they? - Oh, shoes.
Did you have the shoes on Sunday? Then take them.
- Thierry, pouches! - I'll get.
I'm looking right on a taxi. Should I take your bag?
Yes, thank you.
OBDUKTIONSRARRORT
"Nine stings, depth of two inches. 15 stab altogether, but nothing fatal."
"Plus three strokes in the head with one beam" hardly a crime you commit...
... when you refused a few thousand francs - Well, if you really need the money.
- Read literature, not criminology. - In anger stabs man with more power.
As with love, going all the way. Anger is passion.
You know what I think? Mrs. Marchal tortured by someone who wanted to get success
- data, a well prepared crimes, done by someone who was well informerad-
- who was looking for a larger amount than few thousand francs Omar could ask for .
- The autopsy report said you? - How clearly whatsoever.
"Since the skull is opened..." No, not here.
"Since the thoracic and abdominal cavities opened recognized that neither lungs" -
- "heart or arteries damaged by blade that has given superficial injuries" -
- "Despite a slash with the intestines fall out."
"None of stabbed directly killing" -
- "but with everything taken together they led to a prolonged agony."
- What is your conclusion? - A murderer, no gardener.
Sa Andre, you would be economical? Why did you choose this hovel?
Hotel InterContinental, thanks. - Get in the car again.
Important to have good working conditions. A man's life is at stake.
- Your bag. - Go ahead.
Thank you, have a nice stay.
Crude this way... you are independent. Come!
We open the door... and you can work.
- Does not my presence distracting? - On the contrary. Good for my concentration.
Make yourself comfortable and take the day off I'll finish reading the documents.
PRISON Grasse 27 JULI 1991
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Take off his handcuffs.
- Perfect. - Empty pockets.
Wait.
See into cells.
Come in.
Stop!
Stop. Let me pass.
Gentlemen, here's the new.
Go in, take the bunk over there.
Shiffman, move your things.
I hope it'll work fine.
- Why are you here? - I do not know.
- Neither are you? - That's you.
Omar rescued has been arrested on suspicion for the murder of Ghislaine Marchal-
- heir to the famous manufacturer of Automobile accessories.
Despite accusations continues gardener assert his innocence.
- I have nothing to do with this. - I know. God is great.
Do not forget to say your prayers. Ask them, and ask Him for help.
God has nothing to do with this. He'll forgive me for saying so.
- It just depends judiciary. - Girard and Baudoux get you out.
Latifa chose them well. Listen to them. Follow their advice. Trust them.
France received us, it is a noble country that does not condemn the innocent.
I know, Dad. But why am I here?
Why are they doing this to me?
All crying. Latifa, kids.
- Mom also suffers. - Everything works out.
Soon we greet her in Morocco.
"Omar rescued admits that he had habit to go to prostitutes."
"Can dire need of pengarför to pay these ladies be the motive" -
- "for a theft which degenerated into murder?"
What does this mean? "Prostitute."
Whore.
It is not true. I have never gone to whores. I have Latifa.
- Why is he so annoyed? - Can not Arabic, I was born here.
- He says he's never gone to whores - It is a lie.
- French legal system does not lie. - French legal system...
Here's Front National, a lot things, a fucking mess. Wake up, brother.
I... no problem... with racism.
I have never stolen.
- I do not touch drugs. - So we'd be shit, then?
- Get out! You know what he means. - I'm not against you.
But I, innocent.
Interpreter needed for talks with lawyers. I ask if I can be your interpreter.
Good morning.
Do not follow with out on the field. Better if I'm alone.
But every night to be my notes written down, so plan no time.
- I had not thought of doing. - Here, learn this by heart.
We should have the same information and you get to take hold of me if I go astray.
- How do I look? - A little too nice to be snoops.
- I was just joking. You are perfect. - Go ahead and read!
SALES - RENTALS
Have a good day.
- Yes? - Good afternoon.
My name Rierre-Emmanuel Vaugrenard. I am a writer. May I visit...
... apartment Raddads lived in? - What are you? Journalist?
No, writer, not a journalist. Just want to see it. It's free.
Now living in Toulon wife with their two children . The poor thing has lost everything.
They had it good here. Quiet area, all thrive together.
We did not know that the men were rescued player. The liabilities accumulate on high.
It becomes a vicious circle and then...
Interested?
One should seize the moment. They usually go fast.
Yes, it is tempting.
Why kill her brutally, when he could have been content to steal?
But why steal from her ensured him a regular salary?
And why assured, he was not about that she was dead after the beating?
You said he is not a violent nature. Omar is calm, almost submissive.
But if he freaks out, it may happen he reacts totally irrational.
- Is "freaking out" the term they teach you? - "Lose your footing."
I think the investigator Posts seems reasonable.
I'm not saying it's the truth, but it seems reasonable.
Read it to me again.
"After the morning's work at wife Rascal goes Revision to the villa."
"Not to kill wife Marchal, but to ask for an advance."
"But she is in the basement to manage Oscar, which she called the apparatus" -
- "that regulated the water in the pool. Omar went down into the basement."
Staff did it make? The lawyer said she was never in the basement.
- How'd learned that she was there? - I continue.
"A heated discussion breaks out. He wants money, but she refuses."
"She tells him to go and he then decides to kill wife Marchal."
"Takes a joist when she approaches and hit her in the head with it."
"Gets late snips to put an end to her."
"Thought she was dead, turned off the lights and took the money in her purse" -
- "then took his moped and went and called to his wife."
"But Mrs. Marchal used his last forces to write on the door:"
'' Omar Killed Me ' before she blocked the door. "
With a 12-pound bed as she pulled across the floor while the entrails fell out.
- But not a drop of blood. - Robe swallowed up everything.
A bed she put the iron bar and supported by the beam.
- Well done by a dying. - Blood was on the bed.
The bed moved, that's for sure.
But since no fingerprints taken on the ends... And then?
"She tried to write more but died before she could clear: 'Omar die...' '
It seems reasonable. Not true?
Your clothes shows no blood stains. And there is no dirt...
... from the basement of your shoes. - You have there not be found...
... tracks from wife Rascals garden, where you after working all morning.
He wants to know what it means for him.
- In theory it is very good news. - Yes.
It would be odd if the attacker does not has a single small blood stain on it.
According wife Rascals testimony changed you do not wear all day.
And because the clothes not hartvättats...
- Is it, then over now? Is he free? - Not really.
Judge Renard stick to police report.
I understood.
- The judge does not want to. - He must finally accept the facts.
It was Omar's father who built it. He works with me since he arrived in 1962.
I recommended both father and son to Ghislaine, my best friend.
- I would not recommend a killer! - Francine's right.
I hire Omar know him well. He could not have done something so terrible.
Please understand that Ghislaine was a strong personality.
Did often as she liked, followed their ideas, their beliefs, their thoughts.
She was not always so popular here. She preferred the visitation of simple people.
- As Raddads in front of their own family. - Sympathetically.
Not förfamiljen. They cremated her It makes my heart burst.
- Was not that what she had wanted. - No.
- Why had she then bought the gravesite? - One does not preclude the other.
- Did she have other friends and acquaintances? - Half year she lived in Switzerland.
She placed their money there, considerable sums.
That's a track we should follow. But no, they are concentrating on Omar.
Same with El Ouaer. No one cares. A Tunisian who worked in the neighborhood.
He saw a Swiss-registered SUV that day, a man sneaked in her house.
- How do you spell...? - O... u... a... e... r.
- Can you contact him? - I can try, but no promises.
And the Italian who had a boat. Or Greek, I do not really know.
Ghislaine was still a beautiful woman. But to say it, it suits them not
- Police responded well you? - Bothered me? You are joking.
Bugged telephone, as well as men Sheriff and all other neighbors.
Sat in jail, I am 80 years!
"Why Defend the killer instead for your girlfriend?" That was what they said.
Can you imagine! I am weeping for her every day.
I follow you.
The presiding judge had learned to violent act by viewing images.
He looked to cut the throats of sheep, but Muslims eldest son does.
Mohammed, not Omar, did family rescued. It knows the judge.
- It is dishonest. - I understand your anger. Say sincerely
- Are you convinced of Omar's innocence? - Absolutely.
- Is not it because you called the Sheriff? - What's your name? You are well convinced?
- Thanks. Goodbye. - Bye.
I begin to understand this woman. I identify with her.
- Freethinker in a conventional world. - What makes you say that?
I see them all gathered around her. All are there.
Her sister Claude. Fine political career under the Edgar Faure.
Spouse: Bernard de BIGAULT the Granrut, president of the Paris Bar
State Department lawyer and Chairman of the National Assembly.
Other sister, Christiane, widow of Gilbert Beaujolin-
- a businessman, close Foccart and his African networks.
Christian Veilleux from a first marriage , dissolved in tears, discreet.
All gathered around the ashes of woman with so many secrets.
Independent, choleric sometimes, but also very loving.
Although generous to anyone as she has always been against Raddads
All they want to know the truth about her death , but the truth about her life...
COURT IN NICE December 1991
- The nightmare is over, Omar. - I do not understand.
The autopsy shows that Mrs. Marchal died Monday, 24 June between 11 and 14
Not on Sunday that police believed. Mrs. Marchal died on Monday.
Raw on Monday were you in Toulon, Omar. It is proven and can not be denied.
Judge can no longer refuse placing you at liberty.
Thank you.
I called experts because date does not match with police.
- They admit that they have been pushing wrong. - What's that you say?
- She died not 24 but 23. - There are three experts.
- Pushed all three wrong? Ni jokes! - It's nothing to joke about.
They're doctors. Oddly! It is well you who asked them to adjust?
Absolutely not. They acknowledge that the would have been 23, not 24.
It changes the expert's opinion. 24 hour difference! Unusable.
- Problems? - Yes, the experts have changed their mind.
- I understand. Register for others. - Mr rescued right.
- We require new expert opinion. - Family received cremate the body.
- Huh? - When?
The week after the murder. It was quite in order.
- How do we do without body and report? - I was engaged when already the case...
No reason to hide things!
- Is Mrs. Marchal burned? - We do not understand.
- Something like this has never happened before. - To him I owe.
I try but can not remember.
Concentrate on hearing. You must have overlooked something.
- The smallest may be significant. - Police refuse to believe me.
They say I'm lying, did not go home.
- And...? - Raw way home I bought half a baguette.
- I made a cheese sandwich. - Crude French. Learn to think in French
So you can answer the judge and to understand the lawyers.
And then...
I watched TV.
"Le juste prix" or...
What's this? "La famille en or."
- Can we say without seeing them. - I look at them on Sundays.
- Crude French! - I can not, Magid.
Think back. Did you meet anyone you know?
Neighbors, but none of them remember me.
- Did you call somebody? - No.
- Have you phone? - No, I go to a phone booth.
Wait a minute... Magid...
- Crude road so I called Latifa. - Are you sure?
Would say I came to Toulon dan thereon, also spoke with my sister in law.
Omar's call lasted four minutes. It takes at least 40 minutes to running-
- back and forth to the phone booth He had five, ten minutes in which that-
- ask for an advance, get no, furious beat Mrs. Marchal several times with bjälken-
- Give her 15 stabbings, go to her bedrooms, taking money out of handväskan-
- make phone calls for an alibi and resume work at 13:00 wife Rascal
Unthinkable. It is unthinkable.
Why did not scream wife Marchal? Why she cried not for help?
Instead of using its last forces to accuse attacker.
Maybe she was afraid that he was still around.
But if she felt that she was dying and therefore wrote "Omar Killed Me" -
- why did not she a power effort and screamed for help?
In the hope that someone could come helpful and catch the killer?
- I've never been in the basement. - If we prove that the cellar door...
... can be closed from the outside, proves that a third passenger
- planned everything to accuse you.
I will not.
- Well? - He refuses to participate in the reconstruction.
He makes errors that do not cooperate. No plus at trial.
Since then, we've lost enough time. Let's get started.
Youssef crying time. Come home and bark at him.
- When I had to leave the hospital. - Do not lie. He knows you are in prison.
- You know Dad did nothing. - I promise I will soon come home again.
Work well in school and help mom. Take care of Youssef.
Saved, time is up.
- Here you get... - Karim, say thanks.
Go now. Take care of yourself.
Hurry up.
Gather your colored pencils, let's go. - Come on...
Look, Omar. You pour a little oil.
Male teeth...
Turns on the pan, pour in water and you can make coffee or tea.
Or cook the eggs. You can cook side dishes at home.
What?
- I eat when I come home. - Do not be stupid.
You need to be in shape to defend you. I force you if I have to.
You see, in the dark, it is impossible.
See, what a difference. Here it is in a straight line.
I fail when I constantly to retrieve blood, do not know where the line is
And when I push against, so goes door is unlocked. The door was ajar?
- Wide open. - In the boiler room, huh?
The body lay inside. It's weird but if she managed to crawl in there...
To die there and not write clearly? I think not.
The prosecutor said she died when she wanted write killer's name again.
So in agony slid the door up?
To write she must resist, otherwise it is impossible.
- There's blood higher up. - Crude handle?
So she wrote with his left hand or vice versa. No, impossible!
She bleeds to death, resists the door with left where finger almost severed.
Energy urförtvivlan...
- Was not the door closed? - It has been confirmed.
Senior police who entered saw the corpse in the boiler room opposite the basement door.
If the door has been closed he would have had X-ray vision.
Extinguish.
ARRIL 1992
Come, Omar. Move. Come on...
Omar! Revision!
Guard!
Is it three days ago you stopped eating?
Do you not?
Water?
You can dress yourself.
If you continue, you get muscle pain, headache and then sleep problems.
Then it becomes permanent for hearing and vision.
Bleeding in the esophagus and kidney problems.
Overall, it leads to death.
Do you understand?
I want the judge will listen to me.
Welcome. Write on there.
- Remain. - He needs help. - Help him.
Come, my son, be careful.
- You have no right to risk their lives. - Rap, I have no life anymore.
Referee destroyed it. He says I stole Latifas jewelry.
He says I'm a... criminal, a killer.
I order you to stop this. Your life is in danger.
The woman was my mother. My mother in France.
My mother in Morocco...
The judge made her suffer. He never listen to me.
- Oh, my son... - I hunger strike so he'll listen
It is the first time I see you cry, Dad.
You left your country for France to feed your family.
Today...
... I continue what you started, to save our honor. Do you understand?
Brother, thanks for...
What is it called?
Thank you for your generous...
Thank you for your generosity.
Drink, at least. Drink, Omar, please you...
Omar rescued have been on hunger strike for two weeks and was today transferred to hospital.
His health is seriously and his lawyer requires prompt care
- And regrets that his request for release constantly being rejected.
I am innocent.
FIRST TRIAL DAY January 24, 1994
I'm telling the truth.
I am innocent.
I'm telling the truth.
Come saved. It's your big day.
- Do you trust attorney Vergès? - A statement, Omar.
Innocent.
Innocent.
Omar saved, I was a gardener Other child in a brood of six.
My father was a gardener in Cannes when I was a month old.
He came home on summer holiday.
My older brother went to school, but I never got to learn to read and write.
Not even a Koran school?
When I was seven, my father said: "Watch over your sisters and mother."
You are very faithful.
Surprisingly, since it assumes to read the Quran.
Have you heard this Arab proverb?
"Anyone who can neither read nor write should hide your head in a hole."
Why hide?
Mr. Chairman, many non read and write can their prayers.
Your comments we do not want. - I accepterartolk for your defense
But you speak so much French that you can express yourself.
Your wife says you speak very well.
I do not...
My wife is not to say...
I had wanted to talk to you in French.
I know it would help my case.
But... unfortunately, I can not.
Look at these doors, rescued.
Are you watching them?
"It does not interest me," sorry, he believes "it is none of my business."
The handwriting is the same, Mrs. Marc Neck writing here and the writing on the door.
Can you guarantee that the two writings are exactly the same?
- Not written in similar circumstances - How many percent guarantee?
I say a two-thirds chance of letters written by Mrs. Marchal.
So with 2/3 safety is Omar guilty and the third he is innocent.
Rigor showed that death has occurred more than 13 hours earlier.
But the eyes, likblekheten, made to you wrote "more than six hours earlier"
- The eyes can be light just over a day - Let me summarize.
Your first findings were Monday, June 24, between 20 and 22.
First you said six hours, which may correspond to the gardener's lunchtime.
Then you said 13 hours ago more than 24 hours-
- ie Sunday, June 23 between 12 and 13 pros
- gardener did not work Mandan but happened to be in the vicinity of the probe.
How can you be so sure about something so serious?
Forensic medicine is not an exact science moment of death is most difficult to determine
Yes, but after an unfortunate error strokes change you soon so it överensstämmer-
- exactly with Omar's working hours.
They insist that Omar rescued played on machines, even worse...
That he went to prostitutes, but no evidence available to it.
Even if that were true, then there's no arguments to see him as guilty
It creates an image is far truth,
- but that jurors can interpret that he is guilty.
Omar plays and is thus capable to kill to play even more.
Omar's gardener so the victim was killed with a hedge trimmer.
Omar is calm, then a murderer calm Whatever he does, he is guilty.
Why not put an end to a victim which could expose him?
Mrs. Marc neck position with a bathrobe up at the thighs, arms over huvudet-
- equivalent to someone who learned on the ground, not a person who crawled.
Murder weapon, one 20 cm long double edged knife, and 2 cm wide according experter-
- Has not been found. It reminds not at all about the tools Omar uses.
No weapon. No blood stains on the accused. No evidence that male
- entered the basement, that he stole money. It remains only scripture.
I argue that the words designating Omar is the work of one person sum-
- imitated Mrs. Marc Neck handwriting. Nothing in the investigation contradicts it.
As an expert, would you give go-ahead to insurance...
... to pay to survivors? - No. There are many ambiguities.
You can not judge someone based on nothing.
Dare to follow your heart, have the moral courage...
... to simply say no.
To acquit Omar would be in honor of France.
Omar, stand up.
Raw question of the accused 's obligations
- has the right, after individual deliberation, answered yes.
Raw question whether there are extenuating circumstances...
Yes.
Court judge hereby Omar rescued to 18 years in prison.
- No! - Calm down.
Saved, you have five days to complete follow the action to the Supreme Court.
Revision!
It's unfair!
Good afternoon, sir. Taxi to the hotel?
- Are you a taxi driver? - Are you going to a hotel?
- Cafe Melina. - Okay.
- Mens Vaugrenard? - Yes. And you are Mr. El Ouaer?
- Mr. Sheriff said you answer questions. - Oh yes. Settle down.
Good, thank you so much.
Monday, June 24, 1991 I worked at a Bygge-
- beside Mrs. Marc Hals house.
I heard the doorbell rang. A lady of the house shouted: "Who is it?"
- The man did not answer, then he went. - How did he look?
Blonde, approximately 35-37 years.
He had a red car resembling an SUV.
- One model I have never seen again. - According to the investigation wife Kosters car.
No, no, no. The man was not Mrs. Koster.
- Told you, wherever the police? - Of course.
- It was 1 July 1991. - Did you know that Omar's lawyer...
... wanted you to testify? - No.
You will understand that I have left my life behind me.
Also, I had no identification documents, so I left France.
Otherwise, it was prison, as for Omar.
Recent JAIL Grasse February 1994
- Here, they are light. - I have no money.
Do not worry, we take late. And this is a gift.
Thank you.
- Why do not you? It warms. - I can not play football.
Do you think I can?
They would really appreciate it. All this is on your side, really.
Good, and finally... an 'l'. Perfect. Thank you very much.
You can put up again. - He wrote current date. Who can read it out?
- Let's hear it. - Tuesday.
And then? Can you or can you not? Can you not find it?
I can not.
Yet we have been training at the numbers. You get to work on some more.
He wrote "Tuesday, 20..." And then? Who can say a month?
I did not think you could write.
I can write. As the doors. The truth is on the door.
Walk!
With the penalty concessions you are free about seven years. Only truth, saved.
- No, it's at the door. - Go through the wall, then.
Let the wings grow out and fly away.
- Hurry up! - Oh yes, we will.
- Rescued, what do you do? - I'm staying here.
I wonder apropos städhjälpens times. She is a little rigmarole in the hearing.
She says July 9, 1991...
"As for my work so I ended Saturday, 22 June 1991."
"Mrs. Marchal said I would not come Monday, when she was not home."
- "I think she planned a dinner." - So she went and bathed by boyfriend.
The boyfriend says today that it is wrong.
She was at the lake but not with him but with her lover, Rierrot.
Previously convicted for murder and for burglary at a house next to La Chamade
I understand that she does not bragged about it Whence do you know this?
- Paris Match. - You do not get paid for gossip.
- They swore that it was true. - In the book, get a credible hypothesis...
No reason not to check it out.
- We are. Paris Match. - Hello.
No, no pictures...
- I have nothing to say to you. - Calm. Not legally, only human.
We want to know how close you were dead, your memories...
- Everyday, type, she served often? - Never, it was my job.
- But were well off before a meal? - Who was that she wanted to meet alone?
- She was the recluse to say? - She played bridge with the neighbors.
- That's it. - You must have known her well.
She confided enough for you, not to Omar's only wanted money
Yes, but she was discreet, had his diary for all that.
Wrote wife Marchal diary? Have you found it?
- It's like the murder weapon... - Gardener's hedge trimmer?
- Yeah, right. - Changes nothing.
Is it true that Mrs. Marc Neck son kept you... after all that.
Yes, but with the neighbors, gossip... I did not get it.
I do not understand. He told police that the mother suspect that you stole.
- Yet did you remain. - Can you show press card?
- Yes... yes... - Okay.
We should not make accusations. Killer or killers have been-
- diabolic and time elapsed. We can not themselves find them.
- Does it mean that you give up? - Did I say that?
Our research will show that all tracks are not explored.
To doubt there who do not come to the accused's favor.
Cleaning lying with criminal to boyfriend... Not diabolical enough?
- What's the connection? - For you must be the culprit be...
... someone from the cream of the crop, host your interest I come from a simple environment and-
- know that poverty causes horrors. One need not be Machiavelli.
So while you follow the ridiculous fad? An intelligent woman like you ?!
They weigh a ton of handbags. There is no future for them.
Omar tried to commit suicide this morning. Vergès abroad.
He asks you visit Latifa.
Take the car and play with your brother.
Mom! Can you take the little one?
Come on, old man, go to grandma.
He lives and that's the main thing.
How much longer?
I hope your book will arrange everything.
I can not promise anything, Latifa. I hope so.
- May I ask a little tough question? - Anyway increasingly difficult.
Have you been struck by the thought that your husband may owe? He lied about the game.
He did not deny it in court.
- What is it? - I'm hungry.
Tell grandma to get the cakes available in the kitchen.
- You talked about money? His salary? - Look...
When several years living with someone and share joys and problems, ranging
- you know what the other person is capable of.
He liked flowers even then, trees, plants. It was his passion.
It suited him and he bothered no one.
It might fit so well, that he gave the impression of not adapt.
He lacked safe Morocco. Do you understand that feeling, Mr saved?
- He never got to go to school, so... - He came in 1985, had time to learn.
Not interested. He was happy with his family and with the garden.
- France demands on those who come - By taking my son...
... they have taken all they have given me. So is it just.
Guard! Guard!
Guard!
- What is it? - My clothes! Please, I'm freezing.
No, then I get problems. You would not do what you did.
"I do not defend Omar rescued blindly I do it because he is" -
- "one of many who are helpless before Law, French or foreigners" -
- "who are ill equipped to prove they are innocent. "
"This my belief I abandon that day to prove his guilt."
"So far show everything I read in the case of an innocent man" -
- "for reasons I suspect in part, harformats a guilty person."
Final, April 1994.
Should I send to proofreading?
It is very good.
You can be very proud. Your children also.
OMAR - CONSTRUCTION OF A CRIMINAL
I'll ask for a presidential pardon.
King Hassan II supports my appeal to Chirac.
- Means "grace" that I am innocent? - Not directly, but... you will be free.
I do not want mercy, seen as criminal, a shame förfamiljen.
"Guilty" I get to live with throughout their lives and also my children.
- And even grandchildren. - You want to have your name cleared.
The same as "innocent"? That's what I want.
Omar saved can be released about two years ago pardon determined by Chirac-
- the day after the King Hassan II visited France.
Arrested last five years have been rescued not ceased assert his innocence
In the eyes of the law he remains guilty. Chirac's pardon shortens penalty.
His lawyer, Vergès continues hoping for a better result.
- How was the seven years in prison? - Terrible.
It is not easy for an innocent to end up behind bars. It is awful.
- How do you feel today? - I am very, very tired.
I want to thank everyone who gives me supported, all journalists, everyone.
Thank you.
- You continue the fight? And the next? - We appeal to the Supreme Court.
OMAR KILLED NOT !!
We are with you, we support you.
Here is your husband.
- Welcome home. - Thank you.
- I missed you. - Come in, you're home now.
Rap, on TV they said that you come out earlier. What took you so long?
I'm sorry, but that was so many people outside the prison.
I have with me this to you and Youssef.
Thank God, that you are free and in good health.
Now find a job. Take care of your kids and forget the rest.
Omar, come and see...
- What is it? - The neighbors will arrange a party for you.
- I do not know them. - They know you.
- See on my boat. - Oh, how nice. Who has done it?
Uncle there.
Omar...
Omar, come and eat, all waiting.
- Bye, Dad. - I'll talk to the teacher.
- No, Mom hits him in the evening. - Really?
- Right. - Bye.
Here we shall see... Dr. Fournier, Professor Emeritus, Supreme Court.
"Mrs. Marc Neck death can not be determined with certainty morning June 23" -
- "or June 24 at 14-15 o'clock, but most likely is the 24th in the morning."
So Monday when you were in Toulon. And that's not all.
For the first expert reports say he 'refusal to examine the evidence. "
The good news, Omar, and not the only Technical experts appointed now-
- have found male DNA in Mrs. Marc jugular.
Raw beam and on the hand imprint during the second inscription.
- The Truth is in Mrs. Marc jugular. - Omar, you agree that we compare...
... the DNA you found with your DNA? With the hypothesis that you want to accuse...
... yourself with the victim's blood. - Take the whole finger, no problem.
Success is a mystery. Failure is a mystery.
Between success and failure is a nasty limit itself self-
- Is a mystery, which wrapped up our lives in a novel-like challenge.
The fact is that no benchmarks lead author.
He constantly wondering about the novels he writes is not a dream of a dream
- pure illusion of importance only for him self
- and that will disappear, as ephemeral as a soap bubble.
The novel seems sometimes as a useless passion.
My lawyer has asked for a DNA analysis.
He is also requesting a new expert opinion on handwriting.
But I know that if they agreed to it it is thanks to you.
They thought the deal and the Moroccan gardener would be forgotten
But I can the mediocre world of money, power, respectability...
... and know that combat power. - May I take a picture?
Just Omar.
Thank you.
I tried to read your book but it is hard for me.
We can prove that the DNA found at the murder scene is not Omar Raddads.
It is said it can belong to one worker or a police officer who touched the door.
But there were no workers in Mrs. Marc Hals house besides cleaning help.
And if there is DNA from a police officer, a lawyer or a journalist...
... so it is easy to control. - Needed more expert advice on...
... that Mrs. Marchal indicated killer? - This is madness!
- This DNA was not found in La Coupole! - Thank you, lawyer Vergès.
Mr saved, do you have something to add?
I can not read.
I can not write.
And I'm not former justice minister.
I am a gardener but today I heard many things that shocks me.
And that makes a lot of pain.
I will never forgive them hiding the truth.
I can not forget Mrs. Marchal. She's like a mother to me.
But Mr. Chairman, I would also like say something about the writing.
Is it possible to have written it in the dark?
In total darkness.
Is it possible, Mr. Chairman? No, it is not.
You said yourself that if there is any other than Mrs. Marchal, who has written it-
- he is very talented.
Thank you.
He's very, very clever.
For he killed Mrs. Marchal but he killed me too.
Excuse me, are you Omar saved?
Appeal to the Supreme Court rejected.
Omar rescued still live in Toulon and may not be gardeners.
He tries to clear his name by requesting that the DNA
- found on the doors compared against the state's DNA register.
Even today opposes right there.
