New surprises in a trial that is no less than them. Frédéric Péchier joined the witness box even before Doubs’ criminal trial took over.

Wisely crossing his arms on the stand, the former leading anesthesiologist at the Saint-Vincent clinic in Besançon, accused of 30 poisonings including 12 fatal cases between 2008 and 2017, had to speak for the thirteenth time since the opening of his trial on September 8. But this Tuesday, November 18th, he kept it short: “I have decided not to answer questions today.”
Confused exchanges were seen on the benches of the civic party and the judiciary. “What happened yesterday and today really shocked me,” argued the fallen doctor, which confused everyone.
