Beau gosse. Repose en paix.
ohh wow EU has these people too!
that SUV sure kept him safe
I'll take 'things that would not make international news in my country' for $200
A judge will now rule whether he should be held in custody ahead of trial
That's standard procedure. Police can't just hold him forever without judges making the decision for them.
In France they determine mainly if there's a risk of fleeing, or a risk to society.
The same process would've been done after a murder with a gun.
It's the same in America, they just made it a business and a part of filling for profit prisons with poor people.
On an unrelated note, I did downvote the whole article because you tacked your opinion onto it. Why not just make a comment that we can vote on instead of pinning it to the top?
That's standard procedure.
Thanks to let me know that !

The connection with the murder by firearm was not made on the process but on the greater ease in general for the defense to defend a murderer who committed murder with a car during a trial. And the ease with which one can premeditatedly kill with a car and make it look like an accident.

No problem, downvote anything you want !
That is reckless driving and straight up murder. He should be in prison for the rest of his life.
Maybe that would make you feel better but it would not solve the problem.
Personally I would take a millimeter of extra sidewalk or 0.0001km/h speed limit reduction before an extra decade in jail for a wretched SUV driver with anger-management issues.
It would take a murderer off the streets
Okay, 10 years of prison, he loses his license forever and he has to do community service for the rest of his life.
This is reasonable.
A judge will now rule whether he should be held in custody ahead of trial.
There was an update that the murderer will be held in custody
226?!?
i would like to write "this has nothing to do with cars, that SUV driver was sick" but i don't know what possesses relatively peaceful people to act like maniacs once they start driving.
Would a 52 year old man walking in Paris try to kill a 27 year old he doesn't even know, if they were both walking and he just wanted to walk faster?
i did what Paul did so many times to remind a driver that i am not just an obstacle on the road but another human. I stood before cars or sometimes buses to look the driver in the eye and say "now we see each other, be careful". I'm still alive, Paul is dead. π€·
Would Paul go down under if the car wasn't a SUV?
Does that maniac know why he bought a SUV instead of a "reasonable" car?
Recently they started physically separating bike lanes in France, because a line on the road doesn't mean shit to an entitled dipshit. Bike lanes are just more space for their urban tanks.
You shouldn't confront drivers, it's not worth the risk. Though the murderer did already hit the cyclist before the confrontation.
