"We are moving towards more than 180 days of ITT (temporary incapacity for work)", according to Caroline Toby lawyer of Michel Zecler, the black music producer beaten up by the police on November 21 in Paris.
Her physical and psychological damage will be "strongly reassessed", she announced on Friday at the end of her hearing before the judges responsible for the investigation.
And this "taking into account its physical after-effects and the psychological repercussions noted by its doctors", of which she handed over the certificates to the investigating magistrates.
"His tendon severed"
Placed in custody on the day of the events before a video reveals the violence he suffered in a studio in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, Michel Zecler was granted six days of ITT by the unit service medico-legal (UMJ).
The day of the indictment of the police, the Paris prosecutor had announced that a judicial expertise should reassess this incapacity, used in criminal matters to determine the seriousness of the facts and in civil matters to fix damages.
"His tendon" in the left biceps "was severed and had to be reattached with a titanium pin that he will keep for life," said Caroline Toby, alongside her client, her arm in a sling supported by a splint.
"A very difficult situation to live"
His hearing, which lasted more than three hours on Friday morning in the presence of the three judges responsible for the investigation, "confirmed that Michel Zecler suffered illegitimate violence in a private place, accompanied by racist remarks," said Me Toby.
“Without this camera” for monitoring his music studio, “Michel Zecler would be in prison today and not here in court as a victim.
It's a very difficult situation to live with, ”added the lawyer.
Michel Zecler did not wish to make any statements.
