Dany Leprince’s Conviction for 1994 Quadruple Murder Sent to French Court for Review

After decades of proclaiming innocence, Leprince's case will be evaluated by the Cour de révision following new evidence and testimonies.

Dany Leprince, convicted in 1997 for the murders of his brother, sister-in-law, and two nieces, has consistently denied his guilt for over 30 years.
The commission of instruction has forwarded his request for case review to the Cour de révision, citing newly uncovered evidence and testimonies.
Key factors include doubts raised by the sole survivor, Solène, and inconsistencies in the accounts of Leprince's ex-wife and daughter, who initially accused him.
Leprince was released on parole in 2012 after serving 17 years of a life sentence and is no longer under judicial supervision since 2021.
Revisions of criminal convictions are exceedingly rare in France, with only about ten successful cases since 1945 in murder or rape trials.
