Three months of hearings as striking as they are chaotic, between emotion and angry outbursts: here are the salient moments of the trial of the attacks of January 2015, while the special assize court of Paris delivers its verdict on Wednesday.

After 54 days of hearing, the time for the verdict has arrived at the trial of the January 2015 attacks. The specially composed Paris Assize Court will say whether or not the 14 defendants, 11 of whom physically appeared at the trial , were, for some accomplices, for others logistical support for the Kouachi brothers and Amédy Coulibaly in their fatal project which cost the lives of 17 people, the newspaper Charlie Hebdo, Montrouge and the Hypercacher.

Against them was required between 5 years in prison and life imprisonment.

A "historic" trial, filmed for the archives, which opened on September 2, and rich in highlights.

A trial marked from the start by horror.

That of the images of the carnage of

Charlie Hebdo

projected at the audience paralyzed the room.

The horror of the words then, those of the survivors, sometimes in tears but always worthy when they told their difficult reconstruction.

"Charlie has become an idea, Charlie Vivra"

And then the defendants had to explain themselves, ignorant of the terrorists' project, they said.

Sometimes confused, noisy, like Ali Riza Polat, the alleged right-hand man of Amédy Coulibaly.

His angry outbursts marked the audience and annoyed the court that he even expelled him.

He also contracted the Covid like two of his co-accused.

Result: trial suspended for a month.

Never seen.

At a forced march and finally without videoconference, the hearing resumed with the pleadings of the lawyers of the civil parties.

That of Richard Malka, the historical lawyer of Charlie Hebdo, whose words still resonate: "Charlie has become an idea, Charlie Vivra".

The sentences requested: heavy, up to life imprisonment, provoking the anger of the defense, which urged the court not to condemn "at all costs" the living accused instead of the dead terrorists.

Three and a half months of trial for a verdict in a few hours.
