Frenchwoman who killed abusive husband reportedly faints in disbelief during court after hearing she could walk free

A Frenchwoman who admitted to killing her abusive husband, fainted with apparent shock in court on Friday, June 25, after hearing that she could walk free.



According to a lawyer for the accused, the prosecution has asked for a sentence of five years in prison for Valerie Bacot, with four years of the term suspended.






If confirmed, Bacot would walk free, as she has already spent a year in detention, her lawyer, Nathalie Tomasini, told French press.






Bacot admitted to shooting Daniel Polette in 2016. She previously referred to him as her stepfather before they married.Latest Post
