The lawyer for the three people seriously injured in the accident involving Pierre Palmade held a press conference on Tuesday. The occupants of the vehicle hit from the front by the comedian last Friday, a man, a pregnant woman and a child, were seriously injured.
Mourad Battikh indicated that the family is “insensitive to excuses” recently formulated by Pierre Palmade. “They are insensitive to it, especially since Mr. Palmade does not have the excuse of the carelessness of youth and therefore in this sense they will be extremely attentive to the judicial response that will be provided.“said the lawyer.”We are not at all at the stage of forgiveness but at the family asking for justice to be done“. “She is waiting for justice to be done and obviously for Mr. Palmade’s notoriety to influence neither from a media point of view nor from a judicial point of view.“, said the family council once more.
The lawyer indicated that the “father and child are still in intensive care“. The six-year-old has the face “disfigured“and underwent an operation following having the jawbone”fractured“.
The woman who was in the hit vehicle lost the baby she was carrying following the collision. The victim is “devastated“. “She remembers getting out of the car […] and collapsed, having no more strength as she instinctively thought of her baby she had in her womb and repeatedly screamed ‘my baby, my baby!“, said Mourad Battikh. “An expertise will take place to determine if the baby was born alive“, he added.
Why has Pierre Palmade still not been auditioned?
In this case, Pierre Palmade has not yet been heard, nearly four days following the accident. Florence Rouas, criminal lawyer, explains why. “It is the doctors who must give authorization for the director of investigation to proceed either to an open hearing or to placing them in police custody. He may be in no condition to answer questions yet. We are still in a hospital environment, so inevitably, it is done in a hospital room. The police showed up. Of course, there are the doctors who take certain precautions, the hospital staff. But that is of course done with all the necessary precautions, because we are still addressing someone who is sick. But on the other hand, the hearings, the interrogations, can be done in a relatively normal way, under conditions either of free hearings, or of police custody, according to the choice which will be made by the public prosecutor.“, she specifies.
