The amounts were 40,000 euros for "moral damage", 15,000 euros for anxiety, and the same amount for the suffering the family endured., who were in charge of the group of swimmers, were once again acquitted.
"They were afraid that they would not get Jessica justice. They were afraid they would be left with their own grief and their struggle alone. But now they have accomplished it, they have seen it through."During the initial trial, the court heard how Jessica was hit on the head when the pontoon flipped over.Lemaire insisted that he was used to seeing the orange pontoon overturn, and it was not considered dangerous.
