“I sincerely ask your forgiveness,” says Pierre Palmade, turning towards the bench of the civil parties. The 56-year-old comedian and actor is on trial for unintentional injuries aggravated in particular by taking narcotics this Wednesday, November 20, 2024 at the Melun court (Seine-et-Marne). On the evening of February 23, 2023, the actor's car collided with two cars, seriously injuring three people. One of them, six months pregnant, lost her child. The actor was sentenced to five years in prison, three of which were suspended on probation. He will not go to prison this Wednesday but will be contacted “very soon” by the Bordeaux prosecutor who will notify him of the date and place of his incarceration, according to the president.
