      > The former French president Nicolas Sarkozy is to be released from prison after a judge ruled he could serve the rest of his sentence at home.

      Does anyone remember the definition of justice anymore?

      This has been an interesting story to follow.

      It’s weird having been a younger person during the Bush/Obama-era (I’m nearing my mid-30s now) and seeing so many of the figureheads from that era get old, get sentenced, put out to pasture, etc…(what is Tony Blair up to these days, anyway?).

      I’m curious what the French nationals think about Sarkozy and this whole story. It’s hard to get a pulse on the domestic attitude from the mainstream outlets. On top of that, the concept of American prison and justice is very different from a lot of the Western world’s concept of prison and justice.

      This is a travesty. The man brought „The Count of Monte Cristo“ with him when he entered prison, there’s absolutely no way he has had time to read it.

      This is that scene from SpongeBob where they put SpongeBob and Patrick in the cell from stealing a balloon for two seconds then tell them to get out

      Have they considered making him king? That might teach him a lesson. I heard others are trying it.

      It’s not surprising at all, it’s his right to appeal it just like EVERYONE ELSE.

      Anyone shocked by this, especially the frenchs are just mad he actually has the same rights as anyone else, not that he got privilege.

      > Well, thank God; I’m sick of this place. The conditions are just disgraceful! Why, it’s like a prison in here!

      So when the guy got convicted he complained that the justice system is corrupted, then when he appeals and gets released until his next trial, we hear the opposition say the justice is also corrupted by releasing him (by the book…).

      The only conclusion I get from following this story is a lot of us don’t really like justice. We complain a lot about Trump and all but we’re getting more and more like him as a bunch. And that’s not a good sign folks.

      Once again, uninformed people commenting on an incomplete headline.

      He is being released because he has appealed the decision. As such, he is now under the regime of provisory detention, which is there in case of flight risks. The judges have found that he had a low flight risk and adequate guarantees to prevent flight, which means his situation did not warrant provisory detention.

      What is of interest here is that this was ordered by the appellate court. Most provisory detention measures are ordered by the JLD because they’re the ones competent prior to judgment. Since Sarkozy has been judged and has appealed, the appellate court is competent. Why it is interesting is because the JLD is known to be very zealous with provisory detention, with around 50% of the current jail population in France being there because of provisory detention, while the appellate court is a lot more respectful of the law on the matter.

      He has appealed against the decision. He poses a low risk of fleeing, destroying evidence (beyond what has never been found), or repeating the offense. Therefore, while unfortunate, it is standard for him to be granted conditional release (with restrictions on his movements) until his second trial concludes and hopefully he comes back to jail for good.
