Description:

  • Debat jenero nan pwosè Raboto a. Avoka viktim yo, Mario Joseph avèk Duclas Marcelin, dekri masak Raboto a kòm yon "zak prepare" alavans, kote objektif lame a te pou kraze mouvman popilè pou retabli lòd konstitisyonèl nan peyi d Ayiti. Yo site pwovèb "bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje" epi yo dekri jan viktim avèk temwen masak la pa janm chanje anyen nan temwayaj yo, depi masak la te fèt. Sou lòt kote, akize yo ap chanje istwa epi bay manti tout tan. Yo mete aksan sitou sou zak Cénafils Castera avèk Wilson Casséus.

  • Débats généraux au procès de Raboteau. Les avocats des victimes, Mario Joseph et Duclas Marcelin, décrivent le massacre de Raboteau comme un acte prémédité; l’objectif de l’armée était de réprimer le mouvement populaire, pour rétablir l’ordre constitutionnel. Ils citent le proverbe « bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje » (celui qui donne les coups oublie, celui qui porte les marques se souvient). Ils déclarent que les victimes et les témoins du massacre n’ont jamais rien changé à leurs témoignages. Alors que les accusés changent tout le temps d’histoire et mentent sans arrêt. Ils mettent surtout l’accent sur les actes de Cénafils Castera et Wilson Casséus.

  • General closing arguments in the Raboteau trial. The victim's lawyers, Mario Joseph and Duclas Marcelin, describe the Raboteau massacre as a "premeditated act," in which the army's goal was to suppress grassroots movements to restore constitutional order. Drawing on the proverb "bay kou bliye, pote mak sonje" ("the one who strikes the blow forgets, the one who bears the scars remembers"), they describe how the victims and witnesses of the Raboteau massacre have been unwavering in their testimonies since the massacre occurred. The defendants, on the other hand, have changed their tales and lied throughout. They focus in particular on the acts of Cénafils Castera and Wilson Casséus.
