After four months spent at the Bordeaux-Gradignan penitentiary center, he will be able to leave his cell on Wednesday. The comedian Pierre Palmade, imprisoned since December after his conviction for provoking a serious narcotic road accident, obtained on Tuesday from the Bordeaux Court of Appeal the development of his sentence and his upcoming release under electronic bracelet, we learned from the general prosecutor’s office.
The chamber of the application of sentences essentially confirmed the decision rendered at the end of March by the court of the application of the sentences, but modified the schedules fixed at first instance, said a spokesperson for the general prosecutor’s office. The judgment of the Court of Appeal also adds a ban on contact with the victims of the accident, specifying that the measure took effect on Wednesday “at 9 am”.
The prosecution had appealed
The Court of the Application of Sentences of Bordeaux had “granted Mr. Pierre Palmade’s penalty of sentence in the form of home detention under electronic surveillance”, on March 26, but the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office had filed a suspensive appeal “with regard to the hourly terms of the planning granted”.
The 57-year-old actor had made a request to develop his five years in prison on March 11, two of which were closed, pronounced in November by the Melun Criminal Court (Seine-et-Marne). He was imprisoned on December 9 at the Penitentiary Center in Bordeaux-Gradignan, close to his home from Bordeaux.
He had not called
Pierre Palmade was found guilty of involuntary injuries on a family after the violent collision he caused in February 2023 on a road in Seine-et-Marne by driving under the influence of narcotics, after three days consuming drugs without sleeping.
The accident had made three seriously injured: a 38-year-old man, his six-year-old son and his 27-year-old sister-in-law, who had lost the baby after the shock. The interested party did not appeal the judgment, making him final.
