For over 30 years, he has been a criminal defense lawyer, specializing in representing victims. His daily life involves jury trials, the most violent crimes, shattered families, and stories that few could bear to hear. In this episode, he tells the story we never see. Behind the scenes of trials, the psychological violence of the hearings, autopsies, crime scene photos… and above all, the emotions that linger, even years later. He revisits certain cases that have marked him for life: child victims, femicides, murders of extreme brutality, but also those looks, those silences, and those moments when he had to physically protect victims from their attackers. Marc Geiger also shares his very particular vision of justice. For him, a lawyer's role is not to seek absolute truth, but to ensure that there is sufficient evidence to convict someone. Throughout the conversation, he also reveals his pre-pleading rituals, the immense pressure of the assize court, and that constant boundary between humanity and horror. A moving, rare, and profoundly human testimony.
