"Finally. I want to say after ten years of investigation and procedure, considering the defense of someone who is now deaf, who has difficulty expressing himself, who absolutely wants to be judged because he believes that ten years later, one must be judged and mainly take his responsibility. We defend an accused who acknowledges his participation in the events, who pleads guilty and who will apologize, will actually explain how it happened, how he was contacted, and finally how the events unfolded."

13. SOUNDBITE (French) Joseph Hazan, lawyer representing Harminy Aït-Khedache:
"We are mainly hoping that the media coverage of this case will be put aside and that will simply allow space for calm, peaceful judicial debates, with judges who do not pay attention to what has been said for years about these facts and who perhaps move away from the fantasized version of this case to treat it like any other case. And to judge the defendants who have been waiting for years for their trial."

15. SOUNDBITE (French) Joseph Hazan, lawyer representing Harminy Aït-Khedache:
"It will be a significant feature of this hearing because there are defendants who are aging, who have hearing problems, speech problems, concentration problems. And that might slightly hinder the fluidity of the debates, but that’s part of the game."

"They were experienced, determined criminals who did not hesitate to threaten him while he was working nights to finance his studies. This narrative around the friendly grandpa Robin Hood thief needs to stop; these are not the people our client faced that day."

STORYLINE:
A trial began Monday in Paris over the 2016 heist in which armed robbers tied up Kim Kardashian in her bedroom and stole millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry during Fashion Week.
Ten people, nine men and a woman, are on trial on charges of robbery and kidnapping of the media personality and the concierge of the residence where she was staying on the night of Oct. 2, 2016. Two of them acknowledged their participation and the others denied it.
The trial began with the selection of the jury of six citizens who will conduct the trial along with three magistrates — a procedure in France reserved for the most serious crimes.
In interviews and on her family’s reality TV show, Kardashian has described being terrified, thinking she was going to be raped and killed when criminals broke into her bedroom and pointed a gun at her.
