Overview

• The Colmar court found Lelandais guilty of assaulting his companion during a June prison visit in front of their 18-month-old son.
• Judges imposed one year in prison, a three-year ban on contact with the child, and the full withdrawal of his parental authority.
• The hearing was held behind closed doors, with Association Themis representing the child as a civil party while the mother declined to be one.
• Prosecutors referenced surveillance footage they said showed Lelandais seizing his partner by the neck and pulling her hair, as the defense argued he was miming a potential street attack.
• He has ten days to appeal the decision and remains incarcerated for previous convictions, including life for the murder of Maëlys and 20 years for the killing of caporal Arthur Noyer.
