“I ask you for a sentence which is not less than fifteen years of criminal imprisonment accompanied by socio-judicial monitoring of ten years, and seven years in prison in the event of non-compliance”, requested the general advocate, at the end of his demonstration, with regard to Arnaud Buffetrille*, 38 years old, accused of attempted murder and tried since Monday, December 2, before the Cher Assize Court.
Patiently, in her indictment, Céline Visiédo assembled the pieces of the puzzle to reconstruct the most faithful possible image of this evening of October 22 to 23, 2022, in this corridor on the third floor of a building on rue Paul-Ladevèze, in Saint-Florent-sur-Cher.
Between the two doors of these two next-door neighbors, the first found himself pierced by four wounds, one of which was deep and serious, threatening his life and the facts themselves, “a more significant confinement”.
The second does not remember having suffered the blows, encysted in an alcoholism which “is an integral part of his overall functioning”, had underlined, a little earlier, the expert psychologist.
“By a special reasoned decision”, the general advocate introduced another request, to the jurors, more rare in an assize court. In view of the accused's legal history, around fifteen mentions including two criminal convictions for rape, the public prosecutor wishes to increase the security sentence to two thirds (i.e. ten years) while automatically, it already is for the half (7 and a half years).
