IThere is no age to answer for one’s actions in court. The recent trial of a nonagenarian, at the court of Alençon (Orne), testifies to this. Aged 94, the old woman was judged for having led, for seven years, the harassment in good standing of her neighbors, according to Tendance Ouest. For her, all the techniques were good to put this couple through hell, settled in the neighborhood since 2013, and whom she accuses – it seems wrongly – of having killed her rabbit.
Paint on the walls, insults, massive use of weedkiller, etc. For seven years, the nonagenarian made her neighbors experience an ordeal – forcing her last to leave their house in 2020, to settle temporarily with friends. Because, in addition to these daily nuisances, the unbearable neighbor also had fun banging against the wall of the room of her victims, every night between 2 and 3 am. Exhausted, forced to leave their own home, the unfortunate residents ended up taking the matter to court. But the trial, which ended on Friday March 18, according to Tendance Ouest, quickly turned into a sketch.

“A delirious file”
Claiming a hearing problem – not diagnosed during medical examinations – the nonagenarian first forced the president of the court to leave his perch, in order to come and sit next to her so that she could hear the questions. Weary, the magistrate accepted… for a few minutes. Annoyed by the embarrassing questions, the nonagenarian finally decided to leave the room, not without panache: “I’m leaving, there’s nothing to do with these people. It’s eye for eye, tooth for tooth, I apply the law of retaliation. »
An incredible character therefore, who could be laughable if the daily life of his neighbors had not frankly become unlivable, as the lawyers for the civil party insisted: “This file is delirious, at the limit of the bearable, it It’s a claimed hell, harassment that we don’t wish on anyone. “A reality check that was heard by the court: the nonagenarian was sentenced to seven months in prison suspended, accompanied by a fine of several thousand euros. She is also strictly forbidden to appear in the street where her unfortunate neighbors will now be able to finally enjoy their house peacefully.
