Miscellaneous – Justice | Avignon: he degrades vehicles with a hammer and insults the police, one year closes
On September 21, shortly after 5 p.m., municipal police officers in charge of video surveillance spotted, at the end of the Italians’ parking lot, a man driving vehicles while breaking the windows of a Renault Clio and a Volkswagen Polo with a hammer.
A national police crew located the man who, when they saw him, dropped a hammer and tried to escape. Arrested, he threatened and outraged the police officers who attacked the pedestrian camera. At the police station, this man, Amar Kadouri, 33, who has 17 convictions in the criminal record, gave a middle finger to a policewoman, making sexist and threatening remarks.
Judged Wednesday, before the criminal court of Avignon, he declares “I do not recognize anything at all except the outrages at the end”. He explains that he happened to park his vehicle, he was arrested for no reason and supported his posture despite the president’s reading of the transcripts of the transcripts who launched him in question. “In this case we have reached the height of disrespect, this behavior is abject” denounces Me Gony Massu, civil party, before Deputy Prosecutor Armand qualifies as‘”incomprehensible” the denials of the defendant who, according to a psychiatric expert opinion, did not present any impairment of his judgment. There is no possible doubt in view of the CCTV footage and elements of the proceedings for the prosecution which qualifies his comments as “hateful”. A sentence of thirty months in prison is required, including six months with a probationary suspension of two years and continued detention.
In defense, Me Monzies says he has trouble understanding this passage to the act of his client who was part of a real process of integration. For the lawyer, the doctors knew for a time how to channel his persecutory problem but he is in the denial of his disease and no longer wanted to submit to the therapeutic protocol. Ineluctably he slipped. Not only did he not steal anything, but he also left a € 10 note in a car. “That does not make sense” pleads the lawyer who asks the court to take into account the particular personality of his client.
After deliberation, the court sentences him to thirty months in prison, including 18 months with a three-year probationary suspension. It is declared the continued detention.
