The Advocate General on Thursday sought a similar thirty-year prison sentence for the main defendant, Christy Dauphin, a 42-year-old former bus driver, for his “essential” role in the massacre.
Pursuant to the prosecution’s requests, the court compounded the sentence with two-thirds of the protection period.
Sylvia, a DIY store worker and mother of two young children, was killed in the parking lot of her building in the 17th arrondissement of Paris on March 23, 2019. His body was found a month later in an undergrowth in Val-d’Oise.
Sylvia announced that she had split from Christie Dauphin in mid-2018 after four years of marriage and started a new relationship.
On February 13, 2019, she signed a consent form to adopt Kristy Dauphin, the twins she had in 2013. But he had two months to retreat.
Christie Dauphin said she acted “under the influence” of a Haitian voodoo priest who allegedly gave instructions to the “disaffected” who went wrong.
On Friday morning, before the court was deliberately retired, he apologized to the “whole family”, saying “(I’m sorry) for what really happened”.
This thesis was dismissed as “dissatisfied” by the Advocate General, who described voodoo as a simple reason to “push” Christie Dauphin towards the goal of “removing the mother of her children” in order to “gain status” for them.
Tried in the box at his side since March 28, Sabrina Morey, Christie Dauphin’s new girlfriend at the time, and Yvan Webster, who is of Haitian descent, were sentenced to 18 and 25 years in prison, respectively.
The government’s representative had sought a prison sentence of 20 to 22 years and 25 years against them.
As the trio dragged the victim into the parking lot, Sabrina Morey was the only one who ever realized it was “to kill her.”
