A 62-year-old doctor from Hérault was sentenced Monday evening by the criminal court of Béziers (Hérault) to two years in prison, including one year with a probationary suspension, for drug trafficking.
"The court did not consider that your place was in prison this evening", the president of the court explained to him, specifying that he would not issue a committal warrant contrary to what the public prosecutor had requested.
"But he wondered at length," he continued.
These are extremely serious facts that have been judged because of your status as a doctor.
You preferred to poison and traffic rather than treat people.
