Sentenced to two years in prison for failure to prevent a crime, Dylan Hayes indicated, through his lawyer, that he would not appeal.
Dylan Hayes accepts his sanction. The third line from Valence-Romans was sentenced to two years in prison for failure to prevent a crime in the so-called ex-Grenoblois case, after the verdict rendered by the Assize Court on December 13. This Tuesday, the former player's lawyer confirmed that he would not appeal this decision. Me Arnaud Lucien still disputes the guilt of his client, who today prefers to move forward.
Before him, it was Chris Farrell, one of the five other defendants who had given up on appealing. He was authorized to serve his sentence under an electronic bracelet at home. The one who played with Oyonnax this season was present in the room he shared with Denis Coulson during the sexual encounters, bedridden with an injured leg, and did not participate in the rape. The courts criticized him for not having intervened.
Coulson, Grice and Jammes appealed
Furthermore, the three other defendants received much heavier sentences. 14 years in prison for Denis Coulson, 14 years for Loïck Jammes, 12 years for Rory Grice, all three appealed their sentences. A new trial will therefore take place, perhaps in 2026, to judge the terrible facts of the night of March 11 to 12, 2017.
