Sentences ordered with regard to “the seriousness of the facts”, their “personality” and “evolution”, and while the offenses are “perfectly established”, declared the children’s court in its judgment.
Sentences of 14 months in prison suspended to six months in prison – placed under an electronic bracelet – were handed down Friday in Paris against six ex-college students tried for their involvement in the assassination of professor Samuel Paty by a young jihadist in 2020.
Sentences ordered with regard to “the seriousness of the facts”, their “personality” and “evolution”, and while the offenses are “perfectly established”, declared the children’s court in its judgment, read in public hearing after two weeks of a closed-door trial.
The trial, which lasted two weeks, ended Friday morning with the last words of the young defendants. Then the court retired to deliberate. The trial was held strictly behind closed doors given the young age of the defendants at the time of the events – between 13 and 15 years old. .
