By 9 AM the chamber was filled foreign correspondents, diplomats in quiet conversation and domestic journalists.
Everyone ready for the last day of high profile tribunal.
Moreau had arrived here officially for the first time not to mention with so many foreign press present as well as diplomat.
Judges Barbier, Claudel, and Levasseur walked in together and quietly took their seats.
The court bailiff stepped forward and banged the floor once which.
Same repetative process as the past few days.
Barbier cleared his throat and began in measured tones. "Today, we deliver our judgment in the matter of Citizen Pierre-Étienne Flandin, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, charged with unauthorized diplomatic contacts and collusion with foreign entities in violation of France's sovereign interests."
Flandin remained in the defendant's box, composed and alert.
His lawyer, Giraud, stood calmly beside him.
