Tragic death of Sophie Toscan du Planiter not forgotten, judge says
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: Mr Bailey is wanted in France to face a 25-year prison sentence for the murder of Ms du Plantier and his three-day extradition hearing commenced yesterday in the Irish High Court. The three-judge Cour d'Assises (criminal trial court) in Paris accordingly imposed a 25-year prison sentence on Mr Bailey in his absence.; He was remanded on bail after a High Court judge subsequently endorsed the third European Arrest Warrant (EAW) seeking his extradition to France.
