Psychiatric Assessment Contradicts Loïk Le Priol's Defense in Aramburu Trial
A psychiatrist testified Thursday before the Paris assizes court that the former marine commando was not suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at the time of the alleged events.
Before the Paris assizes court on Thursday, psychiatrist Isabelle Teillet concluded that Loïk Le Priol, a former marine commando, was not suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that could have impaired his judgment at the time of the alleged events. Le Priol is on trial in connection with the death of Federico Aramburu, a former rugby player.
The expert also noted that Le Priol presents "significant criminal dangerousness." This testimony contradicts the defendant's defense strategy, which relied on the argument that his judgment was impaired due to PTSD.
