Born in Metz, Gilbert Thiel he began a career as a tax inspector in the Paris region before moving into the judiciary. Him investigating judge in Nancy, then deputy general of the Court of Appeal of Metz, then assigned to the anti-terrorism section, Gilbert Thiel he experienced the greatest criminal cases of our time. “Bring in the acquitted (and a few other criminals)”whose title is a nod to the popular TV show “Make Among the Defendants”, deals not only with well-known contemporary criminal cases, but also with much older cases such as the assassination of Jean Jaurès. Things we think we know, but don’t really know.
In his writings, Gilbert Thiel allows you to better understand the functioning of justice, which has not always been the same today. “We realize in the past that justice was an institution very dependent on the contingencies of the time”highlighted Gabriel Thiel. That’s why she wanted to write a different book. “Usually, very concerned authors write about miscarriages of justice. However, we are beyond the error for some characters in the book who were acquitted while justice decided to deliberately ignore elements of the investigation, starting with the confessions”explains the author.
