The 56-year-old actor was sentenced to five years in prison, including two years, after a violent road accident under drugs. He did not appeal his conviction.
Actor Pierre Palmade arrived this Monday, December 9 at Bordeaux-Gradignan prison (Gironde) to be incarcerated there, BFMTV learned from reliable sources. He must be placed in an isolation unit.
The 56-year-old actor was sentenced to five years in prison, including two years, after a violent road accident under drugs on November 20. He did not appeal his conviction.
The Melun court found Pierre Palmade guilty of involuntary injury to a family by driving under the influence of drugs.
Three injured in traffic accident
On February 10, 2023, getting behind the wheel after three days of using drugs without sleeping, the actor collided with a car traveling in the opposite lane.
Three people were seriously injured by the impact: a 38-year-old man, his six-year-old son and his 27-year-old sister-in-law who, being pregnant, had lost the child she was expecting after the impact.
Once incarcerated, Pierre Palmade will be able to “formulate a request for sentence modification which will be submitted to the decision of a sentence enforcement judge” at the end of an adversarial hearing, recalled the Bordeaux prosecutor's office the day after the condemnation of the actor.
