Patrick Henry's last lawyer recounts Robert Badinter's historic plea at trial. “The nation has lost an immense lawyer, a wise man, a conscience,” said the President of the Republic yesterday.
A national tribute will be paid to Badinter, also specified Emmanuel Macron who should say more on this occasion on a probable entry of the politician into the Pantheon. Patrick Henry finally died less than three months later from cancer, after spending more than half of his life behind bars.
