Never violent
According to the lawyer, the prosecution does not want Thomas to be detained at home, which would cause some incomprehension among public opinion.
Murder of Julien Grégoire in Mons: Thomas B benefited from an electronic bracelet, but the prosecution appealed
The lawyer adds that Thomas, who had never been violent before the events, is subject to all temptations within Mons prison: drugs, violence, etc. “We ask that he be held in a controlled space. His parents are very attentive, while he is wasting away in prison“.
Aware of the seriousness of the facts
According to his lawyer, Thomas is aware of the seriousness of the facts, he apologizes each time he appears before the judge and he knows that he faces a heavy sentence. He would like to spend the few months that separate him from his trial near his family, before a probable return to prison, but in a less dilapidated place of detention than the Mons prison. As for the risk of another act, it is extremely low, according to experts.
The investigation is coming to an end. The lawyer confirms that numerous witnesses were heard and that some of them declared that Julien Grégoire had made inappropriate actions towards them. We are therefore no longer at the stage of rumors. The reconstruction has taken place and some tiny investigative duties remain.
