The case that raises most interrogations is the one of Stefan Velickovic, sentenced to 12 years whereas he had given an alibi that no one during the trial had really put in question, since at the time of agression he was receiving a penalty by a policeman. This policeman came to the court recognizing his own signature, saying he had asked his ID to the person (ie Stefan). This penalty, that we could see, shows the exact date and time of the agression. Besides, Velickovic does not appear on video cameras of the stairs from which the whole groupe came to fight with the French supporters. He is the only one to deny that he was there, and none of the others accused said he was there. He even received an sms, read at the audience, asking why he was not there. It shows both that he probably should have been there, but that as a matter of fact, he was certainly not there, and therefore, did not do anything. However, except in movie Minority Report, justice is supposed to sanction acts, not presomptions. In justice, when there is a doubt, and there is a big doubt here, this doubt must go to the benefit of the accused.
All we can hope now is that the appeal procedure will make it possible for the investigation to resume, and maybe to some of the convicted guilties to say what they know if they want to reduce their time.
