The president of the Niort criminal court let out a big sigh: Cédric Bernardet then returned to the criminal record of the accused, judged on the afternoon of Thursday, November 21, 2024 in immediate appearance for theft and attempted fraud committed as a repeat offender at the beginning of the last month of October in Bessines.
This 49-year-old homeless person had, at the start of today's trial, twenty-eight convictions. For the prosecution, the substitute placed Anne Laparra also did her accounts just to illustrate this « cadence infernale » : the defendant has accumulated “more than fifteen years of imprisonment. It’s still quite scary.”
This time, the native of Ile-de-France had stolen a laptop at the expense of the Easy Cash brand in the Mude shopping area. Before trying to sell it off at Captain Repair, almost next door to the first store: the manager is also the same. But it was an employee who refused the deal.
If the forty-year-old ended up being arrested, it was after causing a disturbance no later than Tuesday in a shopping mall in Royan, in Charente-Maritime: the national police realized that he was the subject of an research sheet from the gendarmes of the Frontenay-Rohan-Rohan brigade community.
An entry into delinquency in 1996
In defense, the homeless man first tried the excuse of his recently deceased mother: the president replied that his entry into delinquency dates back to 1996. There would also be the pretext of illness: “A kleptomaniac steals anything and not with the aim of reselling”, Mr. Bernardet corrects.
All that remained was the regrets, expressed just before the court left to deliberate. Fifteen minutes later, the magistrates returned with a 29e sanction: fourteen months in prison with continued detention.
