The court clerk’s note will be a few lines long. The defendant does not remember anything, gives no explanation, does not take the trouble to articulate. He responds to the president of the criminal court in monosyllables.
However, the police found him more talkative during his arrest in Thionville on December 9, at his mother’s home. The 22-year-old young man was alcoholic and he did not want to return to the semi-freedom center where he was already serving a prison sentence. The mother notified the police. She wanted to separate her two boys who were fighting. She explains that she took a blow while trying to intervene. His right eye was red, swollen when the police arrived.
The 22-year-old is being prosecuted for the violence against his mother and the insults with which he inundated the police. He is also appearing for other acts committed on May 1. He was driving without a license (withdrawn a few months earlier) and he had refused to submit to the control of the authorities after having burned a stop sign. He had tried to shake them off before fleeing on foot. The police finally picked him up from his mother’s house where they got their hands on cocaine, heroin, two broken telephones (therefore unusable), cash, a precision scale.

Six mentions in the record
The defendant is known to the courts for thefts, violence and traffic offences. The sentencing judge following him reports that he does not respect the obligations imposed by his previous convictions. Not enough to facilitate the defense. The lawyer believes, however, that the violence against the mother is not voluntary, that it is a violation and not a crime. He also pleaded for release on the possession of drugs for lack of sufficient incriminating evidence.
But the court judges on the contrary that all the offenses are perfectly characterized. He follows the requisitions of the prosecutor and condemns Younesse Lbakh to one year in prison. A sentence to which are added five months, following the revocation of a suspended sentence in the context of a previous case.
The person concerned is directly escorted to a remand center.
