“I want, I don’t want, I want, I don’t want, that’s fine, but a tribunal is assembled and he is in tin. You will have to explain to you, Madam” would like to say Lionel Mathieu, who presides over the hearing at the Avignon Criminal Court, to a young woman who has just declared that she is not a civil party. His ex-companion is accused of having hit him in front of their three-month-old child on August 9 and then on October 12. Another fact of violence in this toxic couple – which is not the subject of prosecution – is mentioned by the president.

Tomy, 24, who also responds to drug use, launches the president: “I’m not going to deny boss, we bickered, we pulled our hair but I didn’t slap or punch each other”. “We have nothing to do together, but we had not been separated for eight months. Now yes and we will do our own thing on our own” assures the accused. For her part, the young woman said that they saw each other regularly: “we were separated without being separated”. Then she wants to say that they are both bickering … Irritated, the president explains to her that the court, which is like the prosecution very vigilant on domestic violence, is in total uncertainty because of its positioning.

The violence is planned for the substitute who calls for a 6-month prison sentence, with continued detention as well as the revocation of an 8-month probationary suspension. Me Douzou in defense pleads for the release, in view of the scenes of reciprocal violence which punctuate the life of this couple and for which they each have their responsibility.

The court acquits him for the facts of October 12 but the guilty of the facts of August 9 and the offense to the legislation on narcotics. He was sentenced to 4 months and the court ordered the revocation of his suspension of 4 months. It is declared the continued detention.
