Former judge faces criticism in trial over 14-year-old Jairon’s death

During Tuesday’s assize trial over the death of 14-year-old Jairon, the former investigating judge faced sharp questions about the original investigation. The presiding judge and lawyers pointed to investigative leads that had not been sufficiently examined. His refusal to order hair-sample analysis and a reconstruction was also discussed. The former investigating judge acknowledged that he may have dismissed the matters too easily.
