Choralyne Dumesnil, Lawyer at the Paris and California bar, said France is at "time of transition" after lapses within the judicial system have been exposed following the death of an 11-year-old girl. The victim, ‌who has only been identified by her first name, Lyhanna, was reported missing ⁠in the small southern town of Fleurance on May 29, after leaving school. The 41-year-old father of a classmate was arrested on evidence that he was ‌seen with her on the afternoon she disappeared.
