Already convicted of a sordid assassination accused of the murder of his father, he is finally acquitted

The jurors, who had a difficult task given the absence of material elements, finally decided on Wednesday evening. Luc Onfray, an ex-robbery already sentenced for a sordid assassination, was acquitted by the Assize Court of the Alpes-Maritimes who estimated that he had not killed his father almost 30 years ago. “They decided that I was innocent but if I had to go to prison, I would have gone there,” just said the accused, still elusive, who left free after the three hours of deliberation of the six jurors.

“I am moved and happy that justice was in this direction. There was no miscarriage of justice. The file was empty and the public prosecutor wanted to feed him with an awful former file, but which had already been tried, “said his lawyer, Jean-Pascal Padovani. Because for the accusation, which had requested thirty years of criminal imprisonment, with a period of security with two thirds, the cause was heard. The elements “converge all towards Luc Onfray”, said the lawyer general, Maud Marty, for whom this parricide was “a birth” in his criminal career.

But in the absence of material elements, and with the withdrawal of the main witness of the accusation, the intimate conviction of the jurors could only have rest on the strange circumstances of the father’s disappearance and the accused’s troubled personality.
