Justice: One year suspended prison sentence for carjacking

0

On March 30, at around 14 p.m. ML, was at a stop aboard a rental car, opposite the parking lot exit at Grand Case Airport. She has put one foot outside the vehicle and is about to leave it when DG appears in the driver's hood.

With a gun in his hand, he orders him to leave the vehicle, leaving the keys on the ignition, while inviting him to retrieve his handbag. DG, 22, then fled behind the wheel of ML's car

The victim immediately informed the car rental company, which called the gendarmes. A patrol hunts the thief who finally succeeds in sowing the gendarmes towards Pic Paradis. However, he left the car, in which he forgot a T-shirt and a tap. DNA research will identify him even if during his arrest he will deny the facts.

DG was summoned this Wednesday morning for immediate appearance in the court of Saint-Martin. "He does not have the profile of the bad guy" pleads his lawyer. DG holds a BEP in electrician and got his first CDD. To emphasize the non-violent character of his client, the defense recalls that he told the victim to take his things and did not steal the rental price which was in cash in the glove box. And did not physically assault her. In addition, the weapon was not found and the defendant claims to have used a toy. The defense does not dispute the guilt of DG who finally admitted the facts in court, but prefers to speak of a "stupid act". The prosecution had requested three years in prison, two of which were firm, with a committal warrant. After deliberation, the court sentences DG to one year in prison suspended (for five years) and a ban on carrying a weapon for five years. The court receives the civil action from the victim to whom DG will have to pay 1000 euros for moral damage, as well as that of the rental company to whom DG will have to pay 125 euros.
