The Assize Court ofIlle-et-Vilaine sentenced Jules Ory to twenty-four years of criminal imprisonment, Friday November 26, for his “attempted extortion with violence resulting in the death” of Alain Chauvois, a craftsman of Saint-Georges-de-Reintembault stabbed in 2019 for refusing to give him € 20.
The verdict – accompanied by a two-thirds safety sentence and a ban on holding a weapon for the five years following his release from detention – fully complies with the requisitions issued that very morning by the Advocate General. : he had taken into account the “seriousness of the act with regard to a man who only wanted him good”, the “number and importance” of his previous convictions and the “dangerousness” of this individual “who kills for 20 €”.
This “penalty of elimination” had however been criticized by Mr.e Fabrice Petit, the lawyer of Jules Ory: the criminal record of his client, enamelled with forty convictions, was not that of a “serial killer” but of an “alcoholic”, he had underlined.
His co-accused, Jean-Yves Pelé, was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment, while the representative of the public prosecutor had requested nine “because of his infinitely less responsibility”. His lawyers had pleaded for his acquittal: this “follower” who is “afraid of everything”, with an almost virgin criminal record, was under the influence of Jules Ory according to them.
“Rapine”, “Filouteries” and “threats”
During his indictment, the Advocate General had spoken of Alain Chauvois as a “super nice” man who “was often helpful”. His “generosity” and his “great benevolence” had led him to give “five times 10 €” to Jules Ory even though he was “not a neighbor or a guy from the village in trouble”: he had arrived in the town two weeks earlier.
The representative of the public prosecution therefore refused to allow the “tragic story of the good Samaritan of Saint-Georges-de-Reintembault” to be summed up as “fatality” or “a stroke of madness”: for him, the “meaning” of this The tragedy was to be found in the “way of life” of the main accused, made up of “plunder”, “trickery” and “threats”.
Before Alain Chauvois, “a pharmacist” and “the customers of a café” had already been forced to give him € 10 “to get rid of it”.
His “enormous” criminal record – to use the word of the president of the Assize Court of Ille-et-Vilaine – did not make him a “public enemy”, agreed the Advocate General: the “tenant of all prisons in the West ”remains a“ habitual petty offender ”. This man who never had the license had thus stolen a car two days before the death of the craftsman, after having threatened the previous week a taxi driver when paying for his fare.
The representative of the prosecution had especially insisted on the recognition of the guilt of Jean-Yves Pelé, his co-accused.
Jean-Yves Pelé, a man “who does not know how to say no”
“It is true that inaction or abstention are not punishable, except in certain cases such as non-assistance to a person in danger”, agreed the magistrate. “But there is still a small downside: case law says that the mere presence of an individual who adheres to the criminal intent of another can be considered as moral support. “
However, the “only presence” of Jean-Yves Pelé was therefore “sufficient” to condemn him for this “attempted extortion”: the two men were not prosecuted for “murder” or “assassination”, he recalled. .
The lawyers of this former worker of the JB Martin shoe factory had made a point of presenting their client as a “good grandfather”, “who knows the names and surnames of all his children and grandchildren” at the difference from Jules Ory.
Nicknamed “Bourrin” by his drinking companion, this man “who can’t say no” had even initially accused himself – “out of stupidity or weakness” – of a “crime he hadn’t committed” for ” to prevent Jules Ory from re-incarceration, before retracting. “He has a criminal record that weighs a pen compared to his that weighs an anvil,” they had pointed out.
In vain, however: the amount of damages that the two men will have to pay to the civil parties will be fixed at a subsequent hearing, scheduled for February 21, 2022.
