Botched investigation sparks outrage
By Catherine VIETTE

A funeral has been held for 11-year-old Lyhanna. Her murder has sparked a national debate over child sexual abuse and failures of the French judicial system. The suspect, Jérôme Barella, had been previously accused. It’s now been discovered that child protection authorities in the US flagged his suspicious online activity and passed it on to French authorities, who didn't follow up.
