In the wake of defence walk-out, Abdeslam and Amri testify at Paris terror trial

The terrorist survivor of the Paris attacks Salah Abdeslam resumed his evidence late on Wednesday, after the court had heard and dismissed claims of prejudice from some of the defence lawyers. It was as if Tuesday's mass walk-out by the entire defence contingent had never taken place.

Salah Abdeslam won't name names. Even when the people named are dead.
