The Court began its deliberations on March 4 on whether or not to overrule the lower court’s decision not to try Kobili Traoré for killing Sarah Halimi in 2017 after that decision was appealed in 2019.
France’s lower court decided in December 2019 to excuse the antisemitic murderer of a Jewish woman from a criminal trial because heavy intake of cannabis supposedly compromised his “discernment,” or consciousness.

The Wednesday verdict triggered a fresh round of outrage from from Jewish organizations, upset that such a precedent would be set.
