Yeah pretty shitty going after the wife, but they are lawyers and have to best represent their clients, still it is heartbreaking hearing these questions, but if they are not asked the perpetrators could later claim because these questions weren't asked they have ground for appeal or maybe a mistrial. I am not a lawyer nor have any knowledge of the French judicial system. But I am glad she is having this trial in the open, it really lets the public see how such a horrific crime is dealt with in the court, the uncomfortable questions, the belief that if they have her husband's consent it is fine. Fuck and her husband is throwing all of these fucks, including his fucked-up self, with him underneath the bus, like taking them all down with him.
