On the second day of her trial, the accused, who killed her husband, was portrayed as depressed and anxious. The drama had to happen.
Love stories sometimes end in blood. For the accused Linda Weber, and the victim Richard Piron, this misfortune suddenly fell on the day of the lily of the valley, traditional lucky charm. What are the springs and the causes? Tuesday, four experts shared the morning to dismantle the coldly technical elements of this marital and family drama.
A pharmacist-toxicologist made the blood of the protagonists speak, and noted in Mr. 2.12 gr of alcohol per liter of blood, and 2.07 in the accused, 5:45 after the facts. What must be mixed with a cocktail of drugs, antidepressants, painkillers and anxiolytics, “To sedate, calm down and less dismay”. As already said, the couple is very soaked, oscillating between advanced drunkenness and drunkenness.
The whole family has a problematic relationship with alcohol, which is passed from father to son. We drink to feel good, to compensate for a lack, by need.
Forensic scientist François Beauthier found it easier, given the number of holes found on the victim’s body. A complexity opposed to a simple and avowed operating mode, like the cinema gives us water. Overwhelmed by anger after yet another argument, an abused woman discharged an entire barrel on her man. In Sorinnes, rue Taravisée, seven bullet trajectories fragmented, pierced the thorax and lung, and perforated a vein as vital as the aorta. Death was super fast.
Gunpowder and residue
Sign of significant violence, the coroner also observed on the body of the accused numerous traces of beatings, such as a recent and significant bluish hematoma on the knee, and older bruises.
It’s the ballistics expert’s turn to dissect the dynamics of this deadly group shot. He points to the dangerousness of the small revolver. The ammunition used was unsuitable for this alarm cannon intended to clear intruders but not to kill them.
He was succeeded by an even sharper expert, in shot powder and residues, searched for by electron microscope. These swarmed in the air before settling on the hands and becoming embedded in the clothes. The expert detected hundreds of these residues and estimated a shooting distance. Madame fired point blank in the kitchen.
However, it does not stick. The accused is not impulsive assures a shrink duo. She is a self-effacing woman, plagued by financial difficulties and emotionally exhausted, brooding over her marriage. Why this choice so radical? Why not have consulted a lawyer to divorce? “She is naturally anxious. Suffers from a depressive fragility for a long time, and from an alcohol use disorder ”. One avenue has been put forward: this fragility, associated with low self-esteem, did not allow her to see other outcomes, it limits her ability to manage a conflict situation.
Anyway, this event traumatized this loving mother and granny, fusional and devoted to her family. The two shrinks are clear: she is genuine, does not manipulate. His act is linked to a context of extreme violence. The risk of recurrence is zero. As soon as it is committed, the crime is regretted. That evening, two steps from her dejected husband, she cried, dazed, lost. What did she do? It was only a few hours later, in the police station, that she realized the irreversibility of her gesture. And she screamed.
