Liliana Lalonde speaks the press as she leaves the courthouse after hearing the prosecution's closing speech during the trial of 16 accused in the case of the 2018 fatal collapse of two residential buildings in Marseille's Aubagne street where her son Julien Lalonde died, on December 12, 2024. Six years after eight people died in the collapse of two buildings near Marseille's Old Port, the trial of sixteen people, including a former deputy mayor, began on November 7, 2024. They were all implicated in the sum total of negligence and financial calculations that led to the disaster. (Photo by CLEMENT MAHOUDEAU / AFP) (Photo by CLEMENT MAHOUDEAU/AFP via Getty Images)
