Thursday March 23, 2023, on X (formerly Twitter), Christophe Hondelatte had killed the new presenter of Let the accused enter even before its first broadcast. “A note, for fans of Bring in the Accused… the role of the presenter has nothing to do with it anymore!

Comments to which the main person concerned had responded. “I have the ambition to be myself and above all not to play a role.

A few days earlier, he had assured that he was a fan of the show devoted to criminal cases. “In my 30-year career, I have never been a candidate for anything except this show that I have always watched.
