Saad Lamjarred's appeal outcome
After years of being tried in France over a rape case, an appellate court has sentenced singer Saad Lamjarred to 10 years in prison, following a court of general jurisdiction in Val-de-Marne, which had previously sentenced him to six years. Legal experts clarified that the increase in the sentence is not due to the vigorous defense team's efforts, as the law prevents punishing the defendant solely because of his lawyer’s arguments. Additionally, a blackmail case related to the case was raised, which does not automatically affect the rape verdict. Investigations into the blackmail continue and involve individuals connected to Laura Puerol, from whom she was acquitted of blackmail charges. Saad Lamjarred has the right to appeal the ruling before the French Court of Cassation, which will review the legality and procedural correctness, not the factual details of the case. If the appeal is rejected, the judgment becomes final.
