Paris – A Muslim man who killed his Jewish neighbor in Paris while shouting about Allah is probably not criminally responsible for his actions because he had smoked marijuana beforehand, a French judge ruled.

The preliminary ruling in the trial of Kobili Traore for the 2017 murder of Sarah Halimi came Friday from a judge of inquiry — a magistrate that in the French justice system is tasked with deciding whether indicted defendants should in fact stand trial.
Francis Khalifat, the president of the CRIF umbrella group of French Jewish communities, called the ruling “unsurprising but hardly justifiable.” He said his group and others will appeal in hopes of bringing Traore to trial.
He could be hospitalized for treatment of his psychotic lapses or made to attend a drug rehabilitation program, or he could be released.
Khalifat’s op-ed published Monday on the CRIF website follows a series of protests over perceived delays in Traore’s trial and the efforts, including by judges, that CRIF and others have condemned as attempts to prevent a murder trial.
Sammy Ghozlan, a former police commissioner and founder of France’s Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in May that the handling of the Halimi case has made him “no longer have full confidence that anti-Semitic hate crimes in France are handled properly.”
Traore pummeled Halimi, a physician and kindergarten teacher, for an hour as police stood outside the woman’s door, according to reports. He shouted about Allah and called her a “demon” before throwing her to her death. Traore had called Halimi’s daughter “dirty Jewess” two years before killing the mother, the daughter has said.
Go make sense of that. A new world that we live in Scary
Froggy scum
And from a different angle, it’s the same “harmless” marijuana that liberals want legalized… And then nobody will potentially be held liable for their crimes? How low can they stoop? Unfortunately only time will tell.
That brilliant French Jurist probably saw the classic “Reefer Madness”, and didn’t realize that it was a spoof! Reminds me of Inspector Clauseu in the Pink Panther!
Jews get the hell out of there before it’s too late, again. What are you thinking?
can some one list the all drugs, medicines and drinks so that I can take to get off from punishment if I do some crime?
what a great idea; I have NO responsibility, the drug, etc made me do it….
Drunk drivers off the hook then. Want to commit a crime? Rape? Incest? Cannibalism? Rob a bank? Just make sure you get high before. Done deal.
It is time for the Jews to get the H**L out of there. Simply put they are not safe. The Muslims there represent a huge voting bloc, the politicians realize this and therefore a protected minority. The Jews there don’t represent any kind of meaningful voting bloc and therefore no one cares what happens to them. A very dangerous situation to be in. The French don’t have a backbone and therefor you cannot expect them to do the right thing and protect their citizens.
Ask 4 congresswomen about this case. It will be here sooner than we think.
Disgusting
