Make Room for the Acquitted!

Gilbert Thiel

Release date : 08/09/2022

Incredible stories of unjustly acquitted criminals and some assassins who would have “deserved” to be acquitted, from the Belle Époque to the 1950s

There are great criminals and great cases… and then, there are those who elude justice, even when their culpability has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
In his unique style, infused with an encyclopedic culture as well as a good dosage of humor, judge Thiel draws a picture of these forgotten... There are great criminals and great cases… and then, there are those who elude justice, even when their culpability has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt.
In his unique style, infused with an encyclopedic culture as well as a good dosage of humor, judge Thiel draws a picture of these forgotten cases. By retracing the stories of true crimes and the judicial imbroglios that surrounded them, he succeeds in resuscitating a particularly rich, virulent as well as enchanted era in all its multi-faceted intensity.
From the Belle Époque to the end of World War II, he opens up the archives, introducing us to the mechanisms of the judiciary process and the reality of their court cases: the traitor Esterhazy, whose crimes lead to the unjust condemnation of colonel Dreyfus, Jeanne Weber, the She-Oger of the Goutte d’Or quarter, Henriette Caillaux face to face with the director of the Figaro newspaper, the eye-gouging Papin sisters, and the doctor Petiot with his implacable medicine…
Going beyond the fascinating and entertaining details of these famous cases, judge Thiel embarks on a broader reflection about the nature and the reality of justice, a reality he knows down to its smallest details.
