Le premier juge écrit : En l'espèce, les éléments de preuve que peut vouloir apporter l'accusé pour sa défense procèdent d’ententes reliées à l'intimité de vie des époux. Ces éléments tendent à disparaître rapidement après la rupture du couple, à l'instar d’une peau de chagrin. Les souvenirs deviennent flous sur certains événements que l'on veut effacer de sa mémoire et les circonstances pertinentes à l'explication d’un fait deviennent imprécises ou rayées de la mémoire. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A0%20l%26rsquo%3Binstar%20d%26rsquo%3Bune%20peau%20de%20chagrin
