During the first five weeks of the trial, it was first the victims of the attacks of November 13, 2015 who were called to the stand. Numerous testimonies from survivors echo the lawyer's life: some are of the same age group as her, frequent the same places, sometimes have studied the same studies.
How can you not identify with these stories? Humanly, Olivia Ronen feels connected to these victims. But professionally, she says she feels in her place, on the defense side. She rarely allows herself to let emotion invade her. Sometimes it's unavoidable.
