The hearing, which lasts nearly four hours, reviews the smallest details of the case. Despite everything, gray areas persist on the role of each, during this evening of June 15 which turned badly, between two groups of young people, at Lake Louillard. With beatings and injuries on both sides.
A phrase that angered young people
Before the Chartres court, three young defendants are tried for aggravated violence. Two of them, in their twenties, are from Mainvilliers and Lucé and belong to the same band. The third, 19, from Chartres, belongs to the other group. The night of the altercation, these young people spend a drunken evening, it seems, by the lake.
According to the elements presented at the hearing, the round trips in full headlights of a scooter, piloted by one of the members of the Chartrains group, are the trigger for the fight.

On the fifth pass, the driver is called out by members of the other group. Insults are exchanged but it all ends with a handshake. Words from the accused Chartres 19 (now a student in Lille), a friend of the driver of the two-wheeler, would then have ignited the powder: “There are only wankers in Chartres. “
Opposite, the sentence does not pass. First altercation. One of the young people is injured in the head, a priori by a bottle of beer. It is about the Lucéen defendant, who decides, with his friend, the young man from Mainville, to go and get an American fist and a knife which are in his car.
“I saw that it was bleeding, I went mad and I went to get the weapons in my car,” explains the Lucéen. “And why were these weapons in your vehicle?” »Asks the president of the court. “I lived in Lucé, it’s a defense weapon for me, you never know …”
I saw it was bleeding, I went mad and went to get the guns in my car.

On their return, a second altercation occurs: there are beatings and the driver of the scooter is injured in the hand by the knife. “I did not want to kick him, but his hand stopped the knife,” defends the Lucéen at the bar. Two of the defendants, the young people of Mainvilliers and Lucé, admit the facts. The Chartrain, him, finally changes version at the helm. He no longer recognizes having hit the bottle: “I confessed during my third police custody. I thought like that, I could get out. “
“If he changes his words, he has every right to do so,” recalls his lawyer, Me Élise Meine.
There is in this matter, a feeling of superiority, of condescension.
