Pierre Palmade affair: the lawyer for the victims of the accident evokes the “psychological after-effects” of the mother: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

A medical expertise rendered to the courts on Tuesday August 8, 2023 attested that the baby of the pregnant passenger, injured during the collision caused by Pierre Palmade in February 2023, had died before giving birth, revealed The Parisian Friday September 22, 2023. This report could call into question the charges for “manslaughter” against the comedian. Indeed, he was found to be the sole culprit of the car accident, caused by “a driving error characterized by a complete deviation into the lane in the opposite direction, and a lack of resumption of trajectory in correction”. Received on the show Do not touch My TV Friday September 22, 2023 in the evening, Mourad Battikh, the victims’ lawyer, gave news of his clients to viewers of C8. The three people from the same family who were seriously injured in the collision “evolve differently”, according to him. He recalled that the driver of the car hit by Muriel Robin’s former friend had barely left the hospital “after many, many months, and even more operations”

Lives changed forever

The accident victim would still be “very physically hit” according to Master Battikh. For her part, the 27-year-old young mother, who lost her child before giving birth, would be the victim of “very significant, very deep psychological after-effects, from which she will have difficulty recovering”, estimated his lawyer. When the medical examination was carried out in court on Tuesday August 8, the young woman was “devastated”, explained Mourad Battikh. She didn’t understand “this legal fiction which denies the personality of one’s child who was ready to be born, who was viable, who was in good health”. A difficult analysis, that the future mother will have “much trouble” to accept. The lawyer for the three victims asked during the broadcast Do not touch My TV that the “legislator changes the law”. According to him, the latter is not coherent, given that in “the collective unconscious, we associate death with cardiac arrest”. Whereas for a birth, the legislator associates it with a first breath. “For a child to acquire legal personality, he must be born viable and alive”explained the defender, who did not seem to agree with this decision. If Pierre Palmade is no longer prosecuted for manslaughter, he would no longer risk ten years in prison, but between five and seven years. For now, the comedian remains presumed innocent of the charges against him.
