It is the same verdict as in the first instance.
Bruno Garcia-Cruciani, 46, was sentenced on Friday evening by the Corse-du-Sud Assize Court of Appeal to life imprisonment for the feminicide of his ex-partner and mother of his children, Julie Douib , in 2019 in Ile-Rousse.
This is the sentence requested by the Advocate General.
“The Court sentences you by a majority of at least eight votes to life imprisonment with a 22-year security sentence,” the president told Bruno Garcia-Cruciani.
“Execution pure and simple”
The court found the defendant guilty of murder and dismissed the impaired judgment pleaded by the defense.
When the verdict was announced, Bruno Garcia-Cruciani remained imperturbable in the box.
The Douib family let their relief show.
This condemnation corresponds to the requisitions of Catherine Levy, the general counsel.
"It's a pure and simple execution", had hammered the magistrate, recalling that he "hunted" the 34-year-old young woman before shooting her on March 3, 2019 in Ile Rousse, in Corsica.
"The mere fact of showing up at someone's door with a loaded gun constitutes premeditation," she also insisted.
