Can Pierre Palmade escape prison?
This Wednesday, November 20, the 56-year-old artist – renowned for his repeated detoxification treatments – will therefore have to appear in court. For the moment, he has escaped prison thanks to a case law: the baby having died before his birth, he is not considered a person. We then speak of “unintentional injuries”.
“He made our lives hell. I only want one thing: for him to pay for what he did.”
Despite his trial, Pierre Palmade continues to write for other comedians but under a pseudonym. A situation which arouses anger and incomprehension among the public (supposedly abstinent, it was filmed three months after the accident in a nightclub near Bordeaux) and the victims. “I don’t know what our future will be for my son and me, once again lamented the father of the family in Seven to Eight. He made our lives hell. I only want one thing: for him to pay for what he did.”

Although he faces 14 years in prison, the actor will probably not be sent to prison. “It is extremely rare to find yourself behind bars for unintentional injuries.”revealed Damien Delseny, head of the police-justice department of Parisian on the set of The Big Week (M6). “It is possible, because the judgment will perhaps be reserved, that he will be sentenced to prison and that he will never serve a day in prison.“And to conclude:”It’s always complicated to understand but in France, the system means that when you are sentenced to a prison sentence of less than two years, you do not serve a day in prison. We will arrange the sentence for you with an electronic bracelet or something else. So there may be a symbolic prison sentence, but in reality he will not be incarcerated.“
