French judge retires his robes in protest at ‘catastrophic’ decision in Sarah Halimi anti-Semitic murder case.
A French judge with more than 25 years of experience on the bench resigned from his post on Monday, citing the decision earlier this month of France’s highest court to excuse from trial the accused anti-Semitic killer of a Jewish woman in her Paris home in 2017.
Eighty-two-year-old Jack Broda — an associate judge at the judicial tribunal in the city of Nancy — told media outlets that he could no longer serve the French judicial system following the April 14 decision of the Court of Cassation not to try 31-year-old Kobili Traore for the brutal murder of Sarah Halimi, a 65-year-old educational specialist, on the grounds that his consumption of marijuana had rendered him temporarily insane on the night of the killing.
Under the French penal code, an accused person deemed by court-appointed psychiatrists to have lost their “discernment” cannot be held responsible for any crimes subsequently committed, even if the accused entered this mental state through the voluntary consumption of drugs.

Then you know the case I’m referring to.
most legal systems do not try a genuinely insane person. however, smoking joints???
no way!
this sounds like yet another travesty of the French legal system
good gesture by the resigning judge!
Read a little bit about the Battle of Verdun and the fighting in the tunnels under Fort Vaux before you go around slamming the French in WW1. Poorly led, yes, but individually the French fought as hard and suffered as much or more than any other army in that war.
They make too much money off DUIs to do that here.
100%
Yep. Like #ComDem get out of jail card.
In another time, that would have been done the next day after the murder. No questions asked.
Long long ago in another world.
They are capable of such things.
We saved them 2 times in the last century.
Don’t think we are capable of doing it again.
Or that we should if we were.
Some in the EU committed an Act of War against the USA on November 3-4, 2020. It was Pearl Harbor II. With the aid of people at the top or near the top in almost all Federal Agencies, acting in coordination for a year in a coup attempt before the attack.
But nobody in DC will admit to what happened.
There are no excuses for allowing this to happen.
But it is like the police officer who was found guilty on all charges by a jury recently, because the jurors were afraid of what would happen to them if they did not convict.
Is it really that different?
Muzzies literally getting away with murder because Politian’s won’t do anything about it; >afraid< of starting a war or mass rioting.
It’s not too late... if that was my mother... medieval...
They are afraid of spoiling their own agenda. As insane as it is. They cannot admit that.
