Retrospective on the tainted blood trial

Retrospective on the tainted blood trial

Last day of the tainted blood trial: the judgment of the Paris correctional court put under advisement will be made public on October 23 Michel GARRETTA, pleaded the responsibility of the community and asked for the release for their client. Assessment of the seven-week hearing. Comment on archival images and images of the trial, interviews with Michel GARRETTA (before the opening of the trial) and Master François CHARVET CHARVET. - Three days before the opening of the trial, Michel GARRETTA, former director of the Centre National de Transfusion Sanguine, defined what he expected from the hearings. He didn’t want to be a scapegoat. Everyone came to explain. The leaders of medicine, the prescribers, the AIDS specialists, even the hemophiliacs, accused of being aware of the deadly risk. A flurry of testimonies that will often turn against GARRETTA himself. Other leaders are pointed south finger: Dr HABIBI, politicians (responsible, but not guilty). Master CHARVET is indignant that GARRETTA is recognized alone responsible. GARRETTA finds itself alone before the threat of a firm imprisonment.
