Pierre Palmade did not appeal, indicates to 20 Minutes the public prosecutor of Melun, confirming information from RTL. The 56-year-old comedian is therefore definitively sentenced to five years' imprisonment, two of which are closed. The person who caused a violent road accident while under drugs will soon be summoned by the Bordeaux public prosecutor's office, where he lives, for the execution of his sentence.
He will then be indicated “the penitentiary establishment in which he will be incarcerated, as well as the date and time at which he must report there”, indicated in a press release the public prosecutor in Bordeaux, Frédérique Porterie. His actual incarceration “will take place within a maximum period of four months” following this interview, adds the magistrate.
Warrant of deposit
Pierre Palmade was found guilty of involuntary injury to a family in the collision he caused on a road in Seine-et-Marne on February 10, 2023, while driving under the influence of drugs. Three people were seriously injured by the impact: a 38-year-old man, his six-year-old son and his 27-year-old sister-in-law, who lost the baby she was expecting after the impact.
For the two years, the court issued a deferred committal warrant with provisional execution (giving rise to incarceration even in the event of appeal). Once incarcerated, Pierre Palmade will be able to “formulate a request for sentence modification which will be submitted to the decision of a sentence enforcement judge” at the end of an adversarial hearing, recalls the prosecution.
