Kim Kardashian's ‘grandpa robbers' found guilty – but won't face prison time

A Paris court on Friday found the ringleader and seven other people guilty in the robbery of Kim Kardashian at her residence in the French capital in 2016. But none of them will face prison time.
The court acquitted two of the 10 defendants. The sentences read out by the court president ranged from prison terms to fines.
Aomar Ait Khedache, 69, the ringleader, got the stiffest sentence, eight years imprisonment but five of those are suspended. Three others who were accused on the most serious charges got seven years, five of them suspended.
With time already served in pretrial detention, none of those found guilty will go to prison. The trial was heard by a three-judge panel and six jurors.
The chief judge, David De Pas, said the ages of the defendants – the oldest is 79 and some others are in their 60s and 70s – weighed on the court's decision not to impose harsher sentences that would have sent them to jail. He said the nine years between the robbery and the trial was also taken into account in the sentencing.
Still, he said that Kardashian had been traumatised by the robbery in her hotel.

Hong Kong court jails couple for life over abuse, murder of newborn son

A couple has been jailed for life in Hong Kong over what a judge called the 'completely disgraceful' abuse and murder of their newborn son six years ago. The High Court on Wednesday sentenced Hong Kong residents Imran Hossain, 32, and Farzana Akter, 29, over the father and mother's mistreatment and killing of their seven-week-old baby, Iyman Hossain, in 2019. A day earlier, a seven-member jury returned a unanimous verdict to convict the pair of murder and child cruelty in a case that hinged on circumstantial evidence due to the absence of an eyewitness. The boy died six days after he lost consciousness in the family's subdivided flat in Sham Shui Po on August 24, 2019. The court heard that Iyman, the second of the couple's three children, was growing healthily, according to his last medical check-up at a clinic on August 8, but stopped gaining weight and sustained multiple injuries to his head and body before he was hospitalised. Iyman was diagnosed with bleeding under the skull, brain damage, and multiple thigh and rib fractures.

France's Macron condemns deadly school stabbing after 14-year-old's knife attack
