A gendarme was sentenced this Wednesday, February 5, by the criminal court of Senlis a sentence of 10 months suspended prison sentence. THE magistrates judged him responsible for the death of Jean-Claude Chassagny, on December 18, 2023, in Senlis. The octogenarian was killed while he was crossing on a protected passage, near the Total station located at the exit of Senlis, in the direction of Chamant. However, it is the state that will compensate the victim’s family.
It must be said that the accident occurred when the gendarmes had just been called to rescue a security guard at the Amazon logistics platformlocated a stone’s throw from the place of the accident. A former employee of the site, alcoholic, violently attacked this agent …
The octogenarian cannot be renamed
It is around 4:00 p.m. Believing that it is necessary to go as quickly as possible, the gendarmes accelerate. But not untimely, the survey will estimate the speed of the Peugeot Partner vehicle of the gendarmerie between 66 and 75 km/h, instead of the 50 km/h authorized. Nevertheless, the van strikes Jean-Claude Chassagny violently. Despite the cardiac massage practiced on the victim by the driver of the incriminated vehicle, the octogenarian cannot be revived.
The hearing of Wednesday’s hearing did not convince Katia, the daughter of the victim. “I have the clear impression that all the testimonies that I have collected used nothing,” she said. This soldier, traumatized a period of time, will resume his work as a gendarme as if nothing had happened and the family, traumatized or not, it is no one’s problem … “
The “apologies” of the gendarmes
Katia Chassagny does not understand why “none of the testimonies collected by the investigator, especially those of the two witnesses located on the basket carrying out work and having seen everything and that of the rescuer who wanted to intervene were reported”. The “apologies” of the gendarmes to the family will not be enough to appease the relatives of Jean-Claude Chassagny.
The toxicological analyzes carried out on the driver of the vehicles were negative. The investigation, entrusted to the Amiens research section in the Somme, notably highlighted the lack of visibility at this place when night begins to fall. It also made it possible to establish that the light alarm was activated. But not the sound warning …
The “emergency character of the intervention”
“The gendarmes are authorized to derogate from certain obligations but without endangering other road users”, recalled recalled Loïc Abial, the public prosecutor of Senlis who, for his part, requested 12 months in prison suspended.
The “emergency character of the intervention” was retained by the court. But the magistrates also regretted “the lack of vigilance of the gendarme in the face of the circumstances”. The soldier, who acted in the exercise of his functions, will not be prosecuted in civilian since it is the State which will compensate the civil parties for the damage suffered. The lawyer for the Chassagny family asked for 45,000 euros for the Katia Chassagny and his daughter for the damage suffered. “I want to specify that only my lawyer asked for this sum,” concludes the daughter of Jean-Claude Chassagny.
