Samuel Paty was a French teacher who was stabbed and beheaded by an Islamic extremist after he showed some Charlie Hebdo cartoons of Mohammed to his class. The attacker was killed by police the day of the attack, but some of the teens involved in the case were tried and convicted last year.
Five of the teens on trial, who were 14 or 15 at the time of Paty’s murder, were being tried for criminal conspiracy with intent to cause violence.
They were accused of having been on the lookout for Paty and identifying him to the killer in exchange for money.
Four of them received suspended sentences of between 14 and 18 months.
This week, eight adults involved in the case are being tried, including a parent who helped bring the teacher to the attention of extremists based on a lie told by his daughter.
