Miscellaneous – Justice | Avignon: he hits his company because their baby is crying
Jino, 19, did not appear before the Avignon Criminal Court on Thursday to answer for violence committed against his company in the presence of their minor child. It was a neighbor who notified the police on September 28 after hearing a scene of violence. The victim, who had traces on the face, did not want to file a complaint. She agreed that her mate repeatedly punched her in the face, arms and legs because their aged toddler was crying… which kept her from sleeping! During her hearing she mentioned other scenes of violence.
The young woman who does not wish to constitute a civil party indicates that since the facts they are separated “because of the removal measures from his judicial control“and she thinks that they will resume a life together saying:”It’s not violence every day“. A reflection that makes the vice-prosecutor jump who finds this speech”hopeless“and tells him that any form of violence is prohibited and that for a child such scenes”it’s devastating“Nothing can justify this violence, he must take care of the child as much as you.”He has struck you, you are curled up to ward them off. In your head it’s something normal you have to defend yourself legally“.
Then the prosecutor deplores the absence of the defendant who has eight entries in the record and who after not having respected the measures of his judicial control, does not appear in court. “He is not working, looking for a job and spending his time in gyms. It’s a joke. He muscle himself to hit harder. He refuses to fit in and know it he will do it again“.
After deliberation, the court sentences him to 8 months in prison and revokes a probationary suspension of 2 months.
