Miscellaneous – Justice | Avignon: four months in prison for insulting a police officer
Heard by videoconference from Roanne prison, Orlane, 27, admitted on Tuesday before the Avignon Criminal Court to have insulted a police officer on April 7, 2019 in the jails of the Avignon police station. This young woman, who has 15 criminal records, explains that while she was asking “since one hour” a glass of water, a police officer picked her up for driving to the courthouse in connection with a narcotics offense case. “Surprise”, she got angry and did not want to leave the jail and said to have asked the policeman not to touch her.
The tone then rose very quickly: “he made me sleep (a rear choke, Editor’s note) and I found myself unconscious. When I wake up there were several on top of me. The policeman was aggressive from the start so I insulted him it’s true but I didn’t threaten his children “. “She made unacceptable remarks“is indignant the vice-procurator who calls for a 4-month prison sentence, which can be confused with a 10-month prison sentence pronounced during an immediate comparison, the day of his deferral.
Me Hamroun, who defends the hearing, wishes to mention “the life of misery” d’Orlane, pushing the line so far as to say that“next to her, Cosette is humorous”. “She had been presented as the leader of a drug trafficking in Cavaillon when she was only cannon fodder for the traffickers. It is true that she uttered insults but we must take into account the very particular context of pressures in which it found itself “. After deliberation, the court follows the requisitions. At the delivery of deliberation Orlane said: “goodbye and thank you to my lawyer”.
