Twelve months of effort reduced to nothing by two bottles of rosé. And as a bonus, an accident. The 29-year-old driver who appears before the judges at Versailles, this Tuesday, November 12, 2024, is in tears. Firstly because she fears for her freedom. And then because she dipped back into alcohol.

Alexandra was arrested by the gendarmerie on Thursday November 7 in Orgeval (Yvelines). His Fiat 500 was recessed in a pole, engine running. She had just almost hit other cars. And witnesses did everything to prevent him from leaving again.

The soldiers quickly understood that she was not in her normal state. Firstly because of his breath. Then because his remarks were disjointed. Finally because of the two corpses bottles abandoned in the passenger compartment.

She wanted to jump on

On the way to the brigade, the driver will literally explode. Insults are flying in all directions. The screams are followed by head shots in the window. She will even try to open the door to jump in drive. Without forgetting the accusations of rape launched against the gendarmes who try to reason with her.

1.97 grams of alcohol in the blood. The blood test is final. Like Alexandra's background. His driving license was canceled in November 2023 for similar facts.

“When I drink, I become demonic”

Her senses regained, she will explain why she shifted. According to her, she suffered a sexual assault two months earlier. Making her plunge back into another attack of the same order, suffered when she was a teenager. She would have tried to talk about it with her husband, without being able to put her problems into words. By default, she turned to drinking.

“I am very ashamed of what I did. From what I said. I relapsed after a year of sobriety. When I drink, I become mean, angry, demonic… Everything I don't want to be. »

Alexandra is not looking to use alcohol as an excuse. A great weariness inhabits him. In tears, she struggles to answer in court. “You know, I don't want to do that… I've been in pre-trial detention for three days. I am with a woman accused of kidnapping and another who is an accomplice to the murder of his child…I can't sleep anymore. I'm afraid. I have nothing to do there. »

“The fair sentence”

The public prosecutor does not see things in the same way, the criminal record contains similar facts. “We understand the difficult life context of Madame. But should we wait until she killed on the road? I am asking for 10 months in prison plus 4 months of suspended sentence revocation and continued detention. »

Alexandra's lawyer enters the battle. “The issue is not my client's guilt but a fair sentence. »

The court heard it by finding the right compromise. A sentence of 12 months in prison is imposed under the regime of semi-liberty. The Fiat 500 is confiscated. Definitely.
