Dominique Pelicot's lawyer says yet to decide on an appeal
The lawyer for Dominique Pelicot, Beatrice Zavarro has told reporters outside court that his legal team is considering lodging an appeal, but has not yet made a decision.
“We don’t have the authority to critique a judicial decision,” only to appeal it, she said.
“At the moment as I am talking to you no decision has been taken,” she said.
Zavarro continued, pointing out that she felt her client had been made the scapegoat of the trial.
“At the start of this trial I said Mr Pelicot wasn’t the conductor of this operation and the other men weren’t the musicians. I think in in announcing this verdict the court has condemned the head of this orchestra, differentiating him and the different musicians who make up this orchestra,” she said.
