Vincent Lasson is presented at Compiègne court This Monday, April 14, under the regime of the immediate appearance. But his lawyer asks for the dismissaljudging insufficient psychiatric expertise. The court proves him right. The case will finally be tried on June 16.
Alteration or abolition of discernment?
“Psychiatric expertise is not complete enough. It evokes an alteration of discernment. But it would be important to dig more. My client is not able to understand the challenges of this hearing or any criminal sanction, “asserts the defense lawyer at the hearing. She seems to want to plead the total abolition of her client’s discernment.
“For the prosecution, he is capable of discernment”
But to establish it, it requires a new complementary expertise on the statement of psychiatric health of the accused.
For the public prosecutor, this complementary expertise is not necessary. “For once, we have psychiatric expertise in police custody time. Its conclusions are clear. He is capable of discernment. Besides, he has already been sentenced several times. ”
But the magistrates grant the request of the defense.
