Her former colleague Olivier Amar plans to mount a defense strategy that attacks Javice's credibility, which was disclosed during a pretrial hearing. Despite Javice's request for separate trials due to Amar's antagonistic defense, the judge ruled against it, citing the trial's complexity and the need for judicial efficiency.
