The criminal court of Melun (Seine-et-Marne), which judges him all day for involuntary injuries in the accident he caused on February 10, 2023 in Villiers-en-Bière (Seine-et-Marne), has gave the floor to Pierre Palmade this Wednesday afternoon. And this, after President Pascal Couvignou read numerous testimonies, a precise reminder of the facts that occurred that day, as well as the findings of experts. On the stand, the comedian immediately expressed his regrets and apologies.
“Today, I am just devastated to see the victims in real life. Mr. Yakut's serious injuries and Mila's trauma have knocked me to the ground, he said in a trembling voice. I knew this would happen. I would like to turn around and say sorry to them (he turns and addresses the victims). I would like to ask you for forgiveness from deep within me, sincerely. » No reaction from the civil parties bench.
“We are like zombies, naked, bloody”
The comedian then returned to the day of the tragedy. “Usually, I take a taxi,” he assures. But it was the brain of a drug addict who no longer takes caution. We do not feel tired, nor the notion of caution, of legality. I took the car. It's terrible. I'm still so devastated. »

The artist described the three days of chemsex, which began on Wednesday February 8, 2023. “Since Wednesday evening, I have been doing this. Chemsex is to boost the libido and have crazy, saucy sex with other drug addicts, he explains. Andrea shows up at my house in Paris. That's when I said: let's go to my country house. »
Already on sale for several months, the house in Cély-en-Bière (Seine-et-Marne) is empty, with nothing to eat or drink. With them, there is also Mohcine, who will be one of the passengers in the damaged car. Once in Cély, he continues taking 3-MMC and having sexual relations with Andrea. “It’s hellish. We are never satisfied, he says. We're like zombies, naked, bloody (because of the bites). »
“It takes me two days to complete”
Pierre Palmade and Andrea get angry. “We no longer understand each other,” he comments, explaining that it’s the drugs’ fault. Andrea leaves. The owner of the place asks Sambou, said Malik, to come and join them. Hungry, they decide to go do some shopping at the Carrefour shopping center in Villiers-en-Bière. To hold on, because he believes it will prevent him from falling asleep, Pierre Palmade snorts a few lines of cocaine.
“I see us leaving the house euphoric… and I wake up in the Kremlin-Bicêtre (at the hospital)with two friends and my sister in front of me. I don't remember anything, continues the driver of the Peugeot 3008 which caused the accident. They tell me the story, the injured, a family, the loss of a baby. They talk to me about manslaughter.
