Jessica’s father, Tony, left the courtroom when the verdicts were announced

Jessica Lawson died after a pontoon capsized in a lake near the city of Limoges in July 2015. She was 12-years-old.Jessica’s father, Tony Lawson, left the courtroom when the verdicts were announced, with both Ms Lewis and Ms Stathers breaking down into tears.

Ms Waguette continued: “It is not reflected either in the exchanges today or in the information provided that the teachers at any moment failed to comply with their requirement to monitor the activity.Ms Waguette said the court knew a time period of between five and 10 minutes had elapsed between the platform overturning and the lifeguard recovering Jessica from the water.“There is therefore no evidence to show that they were negligent, therefore you are found not guilty.
