France: 5 years for shooting at burglars

Tags: ,

René Gallinier, the retired Frenchman who shot at two teenage Rroma burglars a while back was sentenced to 5 years of prison, 4 of which on probation. As we already reported, he shot and wounded two girls who were robbing his house and his trial generated quite a buzz in the French press.

This is a mild sentence for something that easily could have resulted in a death.
