Proposition de loi tendant à assurer la sécurité juridique des peines prononcées par les cours d'assises

This is a private member's bill introduced in the French National Assembly, titled in English as a bill to ensure the legal certainty of sentences pronounced by assize courts. Assize courts are France's criminal courts that try the most serious offences, such as murder and rape, with a jury of citizens. The bill's stated aim is to strengthen the legal security of their verdicts and sentences. The summary is based on metadata only; the full text was not reviewed. The bill would mainly concern people convicted by assize courts, including victims and families involved in those cases, as well as the judges and jurors who take part in them. Its precise changes to sentencing or procedure cannot be confirmed from the metadata alone.
