After a week of debates and the discomfort of the bus driver, the trial of the drama of Millas must resume this Monday, September 26 at 9:30 a.m., in Marseille. Will Nadine Oliveira be present at the hearing?
Nadine Oliveria, the school bus driver at the heart of the drama of Millas judged since Monday September 19 and until Friday October 7 before the criminal court of Marseille, will she resume her place on the bench of the defendants at the reopening of the debates of this Monday, September 26? Victim of discomfort during her interrogation Thursday afternoon, she had been taken care of by the firefighters and evacuated to a hospital center in Marseille.
Contacted by telephone this Sunday afternoon by L’Indépendant, Andréa, the mother of Nadine Oliveira, who was going to her daughter’s bedside, was very worried. She confirms that “Nadine is still admitted to intensive care, she continues to have many exams, some are in progress, others are to come”.
It is not known at this time what is the precise pathology for which the driver of the bus is being treated. “We are awaiting an update on the state of health of our client”, simply specifies for his part his Perpignan lawyer Me Jean Codognès. The day before, he had confided to our colleagues from France Bleu Roussillon that the defendant “was in a worrying state after suffering a heart attack due to tako-tsubo syndrome, otherwise known as broken heart syndrome”. This condition usually occurs after intense physical or psychological stress.
What will be the reaction of the civil parties?
In view of these elements, it seems compromised that Nadine Oliveira will be able to return to the hearing this Monday morning. In his eventual absence, what will happen to the continuation of the hearing? The question should necessarily arise in particular on the benches of the civil party who expect answers from the very voice of the driver and would live badly to have only the words of his lawyers.
Prosecuted for “homicides and involuntary injuries by recklessness, negligence, inattention or breach of a safety rule”, Nadine Oliveira was to appear for another two weeks in this extraordinary trial.
