Overview
- Judges found that Myriam Jaouen intentionally administered a massive dose of sulfuric-acid drain cleaner to 11‑month‑old Lisa, who died after about four hours of extreme suffering.
- The ruling on appeal replaces the 2025 verdict that rejected intent to kill and imposed 25 years without a safety period, after parents and the prosecutor challenged that outcome.
- Jurors followed the avocat général’s requisitions for a murder conviction and set a 30-year term with a 20-year sûreté after three days of hearings.
- Evidence included medical testimony and a poison‑control recording, as well as proof that Jaouen staged a false paint story and lied during the child’s agony.
- Psychiatric experts described her as immature with moderate intellectual deficiency but found no mental illness that would abolish or alter her discernment.
