Ullens Trial Opens: Defense Seeks to Reframe Narrative, Protect Victim Status

Ahead of the Ullens trial, defense lawyers for Myriam Lechien-Ullens' children and grandchildren argue the proceedings must not become a trial of the victim, signaling a contentious legal battle over narrative. The intervention suggests the defense is preemptively countering attempts to shift blame, which could influence public perception and legal strategy. The trial's outcome may hinge on how the court weighs the victim's role against the accused's actions.
