Morad Akaouch, 32, faces life imprisonment for attacking two prison guards on January 19, 2018, six months after his release from detention.
He had injured them multiple times in the head, neck and collarbone, with a stabbing never found.
For Arnaud Viornery, the Advocate General, who combined the required sentence with a two-thirds security period, "
we tried to premeditiously kill prison wardens who, in their role, exercise the face of the Republic
" and "
Who did not deserve what happened to them
".
10 stab wounds for each supervisor
Insisting on the number of "
stab wounds
" carried, "
ten for each supervisor
", targeting "
the upper body, where the vital areas are
", the representative of the prosecution affirmed that "
the intention to homicide
”was“
obvious and patent
”. The two guards presented 11 and 13 wounds, each having “
two deep wounds
”, without vital prognosis engaged, testified this week the forensic scientist who had examined them after the facts.
Arnaud Viornery nonetheless "
completely dismissed the terrorist motive
", simply recognizing "
a religious connotation
" in the act.
The detainee had shouted "
Allah Akbar
" several times after the fact, before draping himself in a Palestinian flag.
For the magistrate, the act of the accused, premeditated, falls within "
the field of a tunnel of vengeance that one builds oneself and which leads to blood
": "
Morad Akaouch is locked in a personality trait where everyone is angry with him
”and ended up giving in to what he“
experienced as too much injustice
”.

Without contesting the attacks, Morad Akaouch "
asked forgiveness
" from the attacked guards, on the first day of his trial, and affirmed that his act was not premeditated and that he had not "
intended to kill
", evoking "
a fit of anger
" linked to "
harassment of supervisors
".
Before the requisitions, which left Morad Akaouch impassive, the three lawyers for the civil parties had also pleaded premeditation and demanded "
a just decision, commensurate with the suffering of the victims
", describing in the person of Morad Akaouch "
a monster lurking that asks only to appear
”.
