(JTA) — A Muslim man who killed his Jewish neighbor in Paris while shouting about Allah is probably not criminally responsible for his actions because he had smoked marijuana beforehand, a French judge ruled.
The preliminary ruling in the trial of Kobili Traore for the 2017 murder of Sarah Halimi came Friday from a judge of inquiry — a magistrate that in the French justice system is tasked with deciding whether indicted defendants should in fact stand trial.
Francis Khalifat, the president of the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities, called the ruling “unsurprising but hardly justifiable.” He said his group and others will appeal in hopes of bringing Traore to trial.
He could be hospitalized for treatment of his psychotic lapses or made to attend a drug rehabilitation program, or he could be released.
Khalifat’s op-ed published Monday on the CRIF website follows a series of protests over perceived delays in Traore’s trial and the efforts, including by judges, that CRIF and others have condemned as attempts to prevent a murder trial.
Sammy Ghozlan, a former police commissioner and founder of France’s Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in May that the handling of the Halimi case has made him “no longer have full confidence that anti-Semitic hate crimes in France are handled properly.”
In Canada in 2018, a Saudi got away with attacking a woman with a knife using a similar excuse.
And then there is my favorite example of UK selective enforcement:
Muslim women “not used to drinking” walk free after attack on woman
(And it wasn’t even the attackers who said that. The JUDGE MADE THAT UP FOR THEM!)
Marijuana doesn’t make one violent. Quite the opposite.
Judicial system is so unaware of so many issues, it’s no longer a fair process.
It can cause psychosis though. But the burden of proof is then on the defense to show that the defendant was in fact having a psychotic episode.
I’m not defending the killer, from what I’ve read earlier he regularly abused and threatened this woman for being jewish. Which nobody did anything about,.
The judge doesn’t know this? Maybe the judge realizes that the Jews won’t riot after an acquittal.
I hate hearing idiots try to defend violent criminals by pointing out the crook’s obvious madness. Of course the killer is a nut! He killed his neighbor for worshiping the God of Abraham in a way that he didn’t like. He, who by the way, is also of an Abrahamic faith. Sounds like a nut to me! And I don’t care if he ever takes responsibility. Just get the nut out of circulation one way or the other so he can’t snuff-out any more innocent lives! To hell with his sense of responsibility and to hell with anyone who argues otherwise!
Islam is not “Abrahamic” despite Wiki propaganda & other smoke & mirror nonsense.
Neither is there “Abrahamism” in other religions. Islam makes a mockery of biblical prophets.
Muhammad had nothing to do with Judaism:
1. Genetically
2. Behaviorally
3. Consciously
He just parked his fortress on their corpses and declared the right to their posessions, women and inheritance.
And the gift for Christians: the Pig after Jesus. Really?
Just another French Nazi Judge
Islam: kill to cure.
Sexuals: Free your whore.
Socialists: Love-adore.
Psychopaths make many more.
Another Judge who is willing to find a reason, any reason to let a Moslem off.
Did the prosecution present evidence that through the Hashishim, it is part of Islamic practice to get high before committing a religiously motivated and coldly premeditated assassination?
Because if they did not, they are idiots.
Nolan ceremony not Milan. Lol. Sorry
NIKAN grrr
Where injustice prevails, there is no law just a sham for political purposes.
