"This trial won't bring back our daughters," one French couple directly affected by the terror attack told Euronews.
Prosecutors and all other suspects have also not appealed, meaning last month's verdict is final.
Survivors and relatives of the victims of the November 2015 terror attacks responded to Wednesday's guilty verdicts with a mixture of emotions, mostly relief.
Salah Abdeslam and 19 other men are in the dock, accused of playing critical roles in France's worst peacetime attacks.
They were the deadliest attacks on French soil since World War II. On the night of November 13, 2015, jihadists targeted Paris's Bataclan concert hall, several outdoor bars and restaurants, as well as the Stade de France stadium. To bring closure, catharsis and above all justice for the victims, a trial of those involved has been under way since September 2021, with the verdict expected on June 29. In this edition of France in Focus, we hear from a victim, a lawyer and a court reporter.
