A regular in the courtrooms appeared this Tuesday in criminal court for a string of thefts committed between 2020 and 2024. The fifty-year-old showed himself to be a good sport by recognizing offenses which were not very solid in terms of evidence.
55 years old, 57 convictions, the record holder for convictions before the Nîmes criminal court, 57 entries in the record, appeared detained this Tuesday before the courts. Nourredine B. is a habitual offender and has appeared on numerous occasions for thefts. On Tuesday, he was in the lockup for stealing from cars with stolen credit cards; cards which in this case allowed you to buy packs of cigarettes with contactless payment.
“I don’t remember.”told President Le Jan who noted that in certain facts, the defendant was cooperative and acknowledged his participation even when there was little or no evidence. “I have medical treatment, I have trouble remembering.”
In total, justice presents him with the bill for a series of acts committed in January 2020, in December 2023, in January 2024 for thefts and scams. Behind the glass of the detainees’ box (he is serving a previous sentence), the fifty-year-old talks about health problems and psychological disorders.”I’m going to read your criminal record, well not the whole thing because there are 57 mentions”. The judge evokes a course of delinquency that started in 1989 and which ended in the 2020s.
The prosecution supports the accusation for only the thefts and uses of credit cards which are really supported by video surveillance. He drops offenses that are not procedurally sound and have certain weaknesses. David Malicot, the deputy prosecutor, however, asks to retain the repeat offense and to sentence the defendant to 18 months in prison.
The defense pleads kleptomania
For the defense Me Ludivine Gloriès immediately steps up to the plate to request acquittal for the thefts which are not sufficiently demonstrated in procedure. The three offenses that remain? The lawyer assures that her case concerns psychiatry and kleptomania, a pathology not taken into account enough according to her in this type of procedures. After deliberation, the court rendered its judgment. The fifty-year-old was acquitted for several offenses. But he was sentenced to 15 months in prison for the offenses charged by the court.
