A juror of the Assize Court faces a year in prison for having disclosed the verdict of a trial in Bobigny in 2019, even before it is rendered. He will be tried in June with two relatives of an accused, who had been acquitted. Back on an investigation that shook the judicial institution.
It was a thunderclap in the judicial sky. The verdict had leaked. The Assize Court has not yet officially rendered its decision that this message had spread like wildfire. Lawyers remained speechless. They didn’t know it yet, but one of the jurors communicated it via Snapchat. Even the oldest, thirty years of dress, had never experienced anything like this. For two weeks, seven men and one woman were tried there for torture and barbaric acts.

And it was on his way to the trial that Butch allegedly recognized Djo, “ the little one of 13 », Among the jurors. He knew him from the mosque. The 13th is in reference to the street of a deal point, the street where this juror also lived.
