In February 2023, Pierre Palmade collided head-on with another car and seriously injured three members of the same family. At the time of the tragedy, the comedian was under the influence of drugs. The trial of Pierre Palmade took place this Wednesday, November 20 at the Melun criminal court. Aged 56, the comedian was sentenced to five years in prison, including two years in prison.
Regarding the place of his incarceration, the prosecutor will give more information to Pierre Palmade. In fact, he will tell him “the penitentiary establishment in which he will serve his sentence. We will also inform him
“the dates and times at which he must appear there”, declared the public prosecutor in Bordeaux, Frédérique Porterie, in a press release.
Pierre Palmade in a neighborhood for “vulnerable people”?
In TPMP this Thursday, November 21, Michel Mary explained: “We protect famous people. We don't put them among the prison fauna. He’s not a thug, he’s someone who isn’t used to the prison area.” Gilles Verdez added: “We will have to look for a neighborhood for vulnerable people where he can continue his care”.
While the actor is very famous, he will surely be placed in a separate neighborhood. Called “VIP district”, it is, in reality, reserved for “vulnerable people”. In fact, these are people who are likely to be the subject of threats or reprisals from other detainees. Given that the affair had a strong media impact, Pierre Palmade will be subject to precautions.
The reaction of the victims following the verdict during the trial
Following the verdict, the victims of the accident caused by Pierre Palmade had a reaction of “relief”, said Mourad Battikh, the lawyer for the civil parties on RMC and RMC Story. “They were listened to, they were able to empty their hearts and they are satisfied, it's a page that turns and they will be able to move on.” he continued.
If the victims felt like they were able to express their pain, the suffering remains. “There is no judgment that will live up to what my clients have experienced. This is why
the pain does not matter to us. Indeed, nothing and no one can redeem the loss of a child.” concluded at the end of the trial, Mourad Battikh.
