Pierre Palmade accident: what does the law say?
As this Sunday reminds us Midi-Freewhich cites information available on the site of the Public service, “manslaughter is causing someone’s death unintentionally“. You should know that such “behavior does not constitute a crime, but a crime, because the law takes into account the lack of will to kill the victim“. It may be – as is the case here –a fatal road accident. When a driver commits manslaughter, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros.
However, if there is an aggravating circumstance, this sentence increases to seven years’ imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 euros. In the event of several aggravating circumstances, the penalty can be up to ten years’ imprisonment and a fine of 150,000 euros. In the accident involving Pierre Palmade, were noted several aggravating circumstances. First of all, the violation – obviously deliberate – of a particular obligation of safety or prudence, but also the consumption of drugs, observes Midi-Free. For this reason, the artist incurs up to ten years in prison and a fine of 150,000 euros. Note that until he is condemned definitively, Pierre Palmade remains presumed innocent.
