"On 29 April gang leader Youssouf Fofana, 28, took his seat in court, smiling defiantly and declaring: "Allah would be victorious." After more than two months of closed-door hearings, Mr Fofana, rejecting any help from lawyers, was allowed to express his opinion in court for the last time. "It's better to live like a lion for one day than to live like a sheep for 100," he declared. Mr Fofana, a gang leader from just outside Paris, stands accused of the murder of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man who worked in a mobile phone shop."
