[citation needed] After passing the bar exam in April 1983 Warluzel began working at Poncet, Turrettini, Amaudruz, & Neyroud, where he started as a trainee.

[citation needed] Jean-Pierre Kalfon and Pierre Santini performed in the play, which was directed by Delphine de Malherbe and produced by Pascal Legros and Patrick Messmer.

[6] The play was well received by the critic and general public and a series of performances were organized at the Théâtre de Poche Montparnasse in Paris, where it ran from 4 November 2014 until 1 March 2015.

In July of the same year Warluzel displayed hemiparesis on the left side of his body during an interview with Darius Rochebin on the Radio Télévision Suisse broadcast of Pardonnez-moi.

[10] Approximately two years after his 2014 fall, Warluzel was receiving treatment from a caregiver in a medically equipped suite in the Geneva luxury hotel La Réserve.

Upon learning of the news, friends and acquaintances of Warluzel took to the media to express their response to the events that varied from disbelief to concern over how he obtained the gun.

[19] His colleague Marc Bonnant defended Warluzel's version of the events and served as his council with Nicholas Antenen, stating that the amount would not be worth killing someone over.

[20] A psychiatric evaluation was ordered and forensics measured the distance between the bullet hole and the location of the caregiver to determine the level of danger and intent.

[22][23] On 19 January 2016, Bonnant and Antenen stated that they were temporarily withdrawing from the defense team due to a potential conflict of interest over the handling of the gun used by Warluzel.

[26] The gun had previously been held in the law firm's study safe and was delivered to Warluzel via a chauffeur, as he wanted it for self defense from burglars.
