Twenty-one months after the crash, the trial: Pierre Palmade is on trial this Wednesday, November 20 for the serious road accident that he caused in Seine-et-Marne under the influence of narcotics, leading to the highly publicized fall of a popular comedian stuck in his drug addiction.
Because before her accident, which left three people from the same family seriously injured, including a 27-year-old woman who lost the baby she was expecting, Pierre Palmade was someone “in distress”explains Benjamin Locoge, editor-in-chief of the culture department of Paris Match. Today in Bordeaux, he has very little contact with his friends and his previous life.
“In the world of humor, when we ask them the Palmade question, people look at their shoes and don’t want to talk, he indicates. Because he helped the younger generation a lot, he followed them a lot, he encouraged them a lot. And today, he’s a foil.”
However, “Pierre Palmade resumed writing, for himself, first”indicates Benjamin Locoge. Because his desire to write and get back on stage has never evaporated, even if he doesn’t know if it will be possible. There is even a rumor in the industry that he works under a pseudonym, a rumor that the journalist cannot confirm.
As his trial opens this Wednesday, Pierre Palmade faces up to 14 years in prison. Although he is aware of the sentence to which he could be sentenced, he says he is “very afraid” of prison.
