A French court reduced police officer's charge in 2023 shooting of teen Nahel Merzouk from murder to assault, citing perceived threat, sparking backlash.
A French appeals court has downgraded the charge against police officer Florian M. from murder to voluntary assault leading to death in the 2023 shooting of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk during a traffic stop near Paris.
The court ruled the officer likely believed restarting the car posed a threat, justifying the reduced charge.
The case, which sparked nationwide protests over police accountability and racial profiling, will now proceed without a jury.
The decision has drawn criticism from Merzouk’s family and advocates who argue it undermines justice.
