This Wednesday, November 10, Pierre Palmade will be judged more than a year and a half after the road accident he caused. On the eve of the opening of the trial, Mila, the young woman who lost her baby at the time of the tragedy, testified to RMC.
On February 10, 2023, Pierre Palmade caused a serious accident on a road in Seine-et-Marne. While driving under the influence of drugs, the comedian collided with a vehicle in which there were three members of the same family, including a 6-year-old child and a pregnant woman who lost her baby after the collision. From this Wednesday, November 10, the actor will be tried before the Melun criminal court for “aggravated involuntary injuries”. Six and a half months pregnant at the time of the tragedy, Mila will attend the trial, as she confirmed to our colleagues at RMC. More than a year and a half after the events, the 27-year-old young woman remains traumatized. “It’s a trauma that consumes me entirely”she confides. “The trial forces me to think about the accident, to relive it all over again. The worry, the nightmares and the flashbacks automatically resurface.”
Pierre Palmade affair: the woman who lost her baby talks about the after-effects she has of the accident
Since the accident, Mila has been followed by a psychologist, whom she consults once a week. In recent days, the former school assistant has started drug treatment “stronger” in order to “hold psychologically” until the end of the trial because she fears having to face Pierre Palmade. “I don’t yet know if I will have the strength to speak during the hearing. I have never been through a trial, I don’t know how it will go. It's going to be very hard. I still can't talk about it, even think about it, without crying“she declares. Physically, however, the young woman is doing better. “I am starting to find my body before, without being paralyzed by unbearable pain”she explains.
Pierre Palmade affair: the woman who lost her baby hopes “a very heavy sanction” against the comedian
On the eve of the opening of the trial, Mila hopes for only one thing: “May the sanction be commensurate with what Pierre Palmade did to me, and the consequences which crush us today”she said. “I would like this trial to at least change the law in road accident cases. May a very heavy sanction set a precedent for all women who would have to go through the pain of an entire life: that of losing their baby while still in their womb.“adds the young woman, who remains confident in justice. “Anyway, I have no other choice if I want to hold on. I want to believe that French justice will not differentiate between a celebrity and the broken strangers that we have become because of him.”
