She speaks for the first time since the facts that occurred on February 10. The family of the three people seriously injured in the accident caused by Pierre Palmade hopes that the “notoriety” of the humorist will not influence the investigation, the victims’ lawyer said on Tuesday, February 14, Mourad Battikh.
The victims and their loved ones “are insensitive to the apologies presented” by the actor and expect justice that “no preferential treatment is granted to him,” said Mourad Battikh at a press conference in Paris. The lawyer said that two of the victims, a 38 -year -old man and his 6 -year -old son, were still in intensive care
“They are insensitive to it all the more since Mr. Palmade has no excuse for the carelessness of youth and therefore in this sense, they will be extremely attentive to the judicial response which will be brought”. declared the lawyer. “We are not at all in the pardon stage but that the family asks that justice be done,” he added.
Earlier in the day, the humorist’s sister spoke in a statement, in which she explained that her brother “shame” and “will assume all the consequences of her actions”. “The idea of having destroyed the life of this family devastates it,” says the actor’s sister. “He thinks only of them. He will assume all the consequences of his actions with the terrible conscience that he can never repair the evil he has done.”

These first words relayed in the name of the humorist since the accident comes after the placement in police custody of a 47 -year -old homeless person in the Somme, which turned out to be a fabricator. This “alcoholic” man had himself called the 5 pm on Monday, by “declaring to be one of the passengers of [Peter] Palmade and want to go”, according to sources close to the investigation.
A gendarmerie patrol went to challenge him on the public highway, where he was. The investigators had taken his statements with tweezers, explaining that “nothing allows [Tait] to confirm that it is one of the passengers”.
given his condition, he could not be heard right away. He finally admitted Tuesday “having invented these words” and confusedly mentioned the “possibility of a bet” with knowledge, said one of the sources close to the file. His police custody was lifted, but he was placed in police custody for his false statements.
The accident involving Pierre Palmade took place Friday around 7 p.m. on the D372 at Villiers-en-Bière, in the south of Seine-et-Marne. The car of the star humorist, which led under the influence of cocaine, collided with another vehicle coming opposite. Besides Pierre Palmade, three people were seriously injured, including a 6 -year -old child and a 27 -year -old pregnant woman who lost her baby.
The Melun prosecution has opened an investigation for homicide and involuntary injuries that resulted in total incapacity for work greater than three months, by driver under the influence of narcotic products. Pierre Palmade’s hearing by investigators will depend on the opinion of doctors.
