PARIS — A French lawyer says he will defend key Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam once he’s transferred from Belgium to France, and described him as a young man “falling apart” and ready to cooperate.

Frank Berton told the iTele TV channel on Wednesday that Abdeslam — the only survivor in the Nov. 13 Paris bloodbath that killed 130 people — won’t be transferred to France before mid-May.
