Murder of police officer Éric Masson: here is why the sentence of the accused could be reduced. The main suspect, Ilias Akoudad, admitted before the Vaucluse Assize Court to being at the origin of the shooting and now faces a life sentence.
A highly anticipated verdict since it will depend on whether or not the murderer was aware that it was a police officer. A legal subtlety that could change everything. It's a legal technicality but he could then benefit from a reduction in his sentence of up to half the sentence.
