Not very tall, rather thin, physically, Dylan Le Bras, a 30-year-old Lucéen, is not a force of nature. However, the two men who claim to have been severely beaten, early in the morning of October 3, both move on crutches to the Chartres courthouse.
One has a broken ankle, the other a sprained one, and as a bonus, large bruises mark his face. He has one eye closed, haloed by a large bluish hematoma.
“I just wanted to sleep with my mother,” pleads the accused, tried in first instance. He explains that around 4:30 in the morning he leaves the club. “It’s true that I had been drinking a little, but I wasn’t drunk. Also, I remember everything. He adds: “I rang on the intercom. But my mother hadn’t come back yet. I didn’t have the keys to open. »
At that moment, he meets a couple leaving a party at one of their friends, who lives in the building. “I asked them to open up to me. They declined. »
“It’s a movie?! “
From there, an avalanche of shots would have hit the man who left his friend’s house. “We weren’t able to open it for him. We didn’t have the keys”, testifies his partner, who specifies: “He tackled my friend to the ground. He mistook his head for a soccer ball saying he would kill him. I tried to push him away. He pushed me and hit me violently. I yelled to warn our friend where we were staying.”
The tenant of the apartment from which the couple left testifies: “When I heard the screams, I went downstairs. I intervened. I managed to calm things down and fell. I broke my ankle. »
In the defendants’ box, the 30-year-old defends himself vigorously. “I got a straight potato,” he says. “How do I break my legs with my skinny body?? »
On the traces of blows visible on the young woman, the defendant makes a hypothesis. “It was her husband who hit her. As for the young woman’s partner, he explains: “We grabbed each other on the ground and kicked each other. Just to defend myself. He was more drunk than me. »

Jail closed
Taken by his momentum, the thirty-year-old advances: “Is it a film?! What are?? Alone, I knocked out three people?? I also do not believe it?! »
The problem for the defendant is his judicial record, with a total of seventeen convictions in the dock, several of which for acts of violence.
“Unacceptable behavior,” assures the prosecutor.
Dylan Le Bras is sentenced by the courts to eighteen months in prison. He’s being held in custody.
