culprit sentenced to 25 years in prison

“She had killed ten people by setting fire to her own building, and that was the whole debate during her trial: Essia Boularès, who suffers from psychiatric disorders, drug addict, alcoholic, was she responsible for her actions?”, questions the journalist Hugo Puffeney, present at the Paris Court of Assizes, where Essia Boularès was found guilty of having set fire to her building located rue Erlanger (Paris 16th). Justice “underlines the extreme gravity of the facts, with a fire outbreak caused by anger and resentment”continues Hugo Puffeney.

The defendant asked for forgiveness

Essia Boularès was sentenced on Thursday, February 23, to 25 years in prison. The defense criticized the verdict, denouncing, according to Hugo Puffeney, “a penalty of social elimination”. “Essia Boularès asked for forgiveness from the victims before bursting into tears in the dock”concludes Hugo Puffeney.
