After consuming crack, Gertrude E., 46, pushed a young Hungarian on the tracks of line 12, at Saint-Lazare station


A crack addict who pushed a young woman onto the subway tracks in February 2019 in Paris was sentenced to five years in prison early Friday evening.

This 46-year-old Cameroonian will also be subject to a five-year socio-judicial follow-up, with an obligation of care.

A lighter sentence than that required by the Advocate General, who had demanded eight years in prison, with a socio-judicial follow-up of ten years and a definitive ban on French territory.

"The debates were dignified and up to the stakes", welcomed the defense lawyer, Me Fares Aidel.

“The resulting decision seems satisfactory to everyone.

My client wishes to take full advantage of the treatment order that will be imposed on her at the end of her prison sentence.

On February 27, 2019, around 12:45 p.m., Gertrude E., 46, threw a young Hungarian on the tracks of metro line 12, at Saint-Lazare station.

Only a few seconds before the arrival of a train at the station.

The young woman had been saved in extremis thanks to the intervention of a user, who had grabbed her by the arm to bring her back up to the platform.

The abolition of discernment not retained

Before the events, Gertrude had swallowed a dozen beers, smoked five crack cakes, this ultra-addictive derivative of cocaine which plagues the north-east of Paris, and ingested 16 mg of Subutex, a heroin substitution drug.

On the platform of line 12, in the grip of a psychotic crisis of toxic origin, she thought she was being chased by snakes.

She would have seen a shadow on her way, which she would then have pushed.

A first psychiatric report had concluded that his discernment was abolished at the time of the events, and therefore that he was not criminally responsible.

But a counter-expertise had retained the simple alteration of his discernment, paving the way for a trial before the assizes for attempted murder.

It is probably this second report that convinced the jurors.

The victim, now 34 years old, who failed at the hearing, had to undergo EMDR sessions, a therapy that works in particular through auditory and sensory stimulation, to treat his significant post-stress syndrome. traumatic, which had justified a total incapacity for work (ITT) of forty-two days.

Asked, his lawyers declined to comment.
