“No sentence will make her life destroyed,” says one of Gisèle Pelicot’s lawyers

Antoine Camus was the guest of franceinfo on Friday, the day after the verdict was announced in this case.

“No punishment will restore his destroyed life“, said Friday December 20 on franceinfo Antoine Camus, one of Gisèle Pelicot’s lawyers, while the Mazan rape trial concluded Thursday with the maximum sentence for Dominique Pelicot, but lower sentences than those demanded by the accusation for his 50 co-defendants, a decision that Gisèle Pelicot affirmed “respect“.

“She understands that the Court has made an effort to individualize sentences. We are almost in hand-sewn“, added Antoine Camus. The sentences handed down by the Vaucluse criminal court against several defendants indeed caused a stir in front of the court where many people gathered to support Gisèle Pelicot.

This reaction comes a few minutes after a message from Emmanuel Macron on X: “Thank you Gisèle Pelicotreacted the head of state. “For this word of justice in the name of which you faced the ordeal with your head held high“, underlined the President of the Republic. “For women, who forever have a Girl Scout to speak and fight with. For all of us, because your dignity and your courage have moved and inspired France and the world“, we can read.
