Last November, Pierre Palmade was judged by the criminal court of Melun for the tragic accident he caused on February 10, 2023 in Villiers-en-Bière, in Seine-et-Marne.
Sentenced to five years in prison, including two years in prisonthe comedian has been incarcerated since December 9 at the Bordeaux-Gradignan penitentiary center. However, just a few months after his incarceration, he could hope to benefit from early release, well before the end of his sentence.
“He will be able to request a sentence modification from April“, confided Cyril Hanouna this Tuesday January 14, 2025 on the set of Don't touch my post. The actor could thus “finish his sentence outside prison, under an electronic bracelet.”
“There are much more dangerous people to incarcerate”
Although some consider it absurd that Pierre Palmade could be released, Michel Mary, legal columnist and investigative journalist, believes that this request “has a chance of succeeding“.
The reason? “There are much more dangerous people to incarcerate“, according to him.”There, he occupies an incredible number of staff between the doctors who come to see him every week, the supervisors who come by to check that he hasn't hanged himself and so on. He is all alone in a 10 m² cell where there are generally 7 or 8 inmates. So I think that the sooner they get rid of Pierre Palmade, the sooner the prison administration will be happy“, estimates the sixty-year-old.
Angry internet users
If no decision has yet been taken on this subject, the possible release of Pierre Palmade is already causing talk on the Web.
“This is not normal… for the same facts Mr or Mrs X would remain in prison! Deprivation of liberty is what we call prison”, “Isn't he dangerous? Go tell that to the family he broke up“, “Ashamed ! Double standards”, “Already, barely back…”, “He destroyed a family, but it doesn't matter, leave him outside, he's not dangerous, basically, they have him put in prison for a few months to do something”, “From the start, it was never planned that he would stay in prison. He’s having fun putting on a beautiful play for us all!”several Internet users on X (formerly Twitter) were outraged.
It now remains to be seen whether the sentence modification request will be accepted in April. To be continued…
