Sentenced: French Woman "Transferred Her Hatred" Unto Her 13YO Daughter She Starved To Death

[Sugar Cookie]

A woman was sentenced to life in prison for starving her 13-year-old daughter. It was the court of Montpellier, in the south of France, that gave the final verdict and imposed the sentence with a period of 20 years without prison benefits. The 54-year-old mother, identified as Sandrine Pissarra, had locked her daughter, Amandine, weeks before her death without giving her food. The teenager also suffered physical abuse.

Pissarra was convicted by the French Justice for acts of torture and barbarity. Amandine died on August 6, 2020 of cardiac arrest at her home in Montblanc. The teenager had been locked up for several weeks in a windowless storage room without food.

Forensic experts determined that he died from a cachectic state, that is, a syndrome of progressive deterioration that causes the loss of skeletal muscle and fat. She suffered from extreme malnutrition, associated with sepsis and possible refeeding syndrome.

When Amandine died she was 1.55 meters tall, weighed 28 kilos and had lost several teeth. He also had part of his hair torn out. The three judges and the popular jury imposed the sentence requested by prosecutor Jean-Marie Beney against the accused, described as a “domestic tyrant, dictator of the interior, executioner of Amandine.”

Pissarra had been in pretrial detention since May 2021. She was also accused of voluntary violence against Amandine over the previous six years.

“From a very young age, Amandine was a victim of blows, punches, kicks, brooms, hair being pulled out, repeated screams, insults, and pushes,” the prosecutor detailed. At the trial, images of Amandine were shown where she was naked and very skinny. These photos were captured by the security cameras that Pissarra had installed in the storage room where she kept her locked up before she died.

The woman, who had eight children from three different relationships, argued that Amandine suffered from an eating disorder - something that was never confirmed - and that on the day of her death she only agreed to eat a sugar cube, a little compote and a drink rich in proteins. It was after that that she vomited and stopped breathing.

In addition to the mother, her partner since 2016, Jean-Michel Cros, was also sentenced to 20 years in prison for not helping or assisting her stepdaughter, depriving her of care or food and not having done anything to “save her from certain death.”

Amandine

"I want to apologize to my children, that's all," said Pissarra earlier in the afternoon in her final statement. "I have nothing to add," said Cros.

When her daughter Amandine died on August 6, 2020, she weighed just 28 kilograms (62 pounds) and was 1.55 metres (five feet and one inch) tall.

The mother, who had been running a nail salon, has eight children from three relationships. She has been in custody since May 2021.

The investigating magistrate in charge of the case said in a report there was "no doubt" Amandine endured violence from her mother, "the sole purpose of which was to drag her into shameful and humiliating agony".

Amandine had from a young age been targeted by her mother, who deprived her of food, inflicted endless "writing punishments" on her and locked her in a storage room under the surveillance of cameras, it said.

According to the psychiatric assessment, Sandrine Pissarra, described by those around her as angry and violent, was seeking to "transfer her hatred" of Amandine's father onto her daughter's body.

Her defence team had earlier argued that other adults who would have seen Amandine -- ex-partners of Pissarra, friends, neighbours, doctors, social workers, teachers or magistrates -- needed to share responsibility for what happened.

One of the mother's lawyers, Jean-Marc Darrigade, said earlier that while there was an indisputable "individual responsibility" on her part, "there is also a collective responsibility".

He had asked the jurors to pronounce a "fair, reasonable sentence", which would allow her to eventually "return to society".

If Amandine was her stepdaughter, then there's your reason, she hated her because she wasn't her daughter. Tho, first poor Amandine was a daughter and she, her, then next she was a he and stepdaughter. So it's really hard to tell.

Piss poor translation is all I can figure.

I used a translation tool.

I tried to to fix the pronoun issues as best I could.

Amadine was this woman's daughter - she abused and starved her daughter because she was angry at Amadine's father.

The step-father was convicted of failing to get Amadine help.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you had it translated, I just figured it came that way. I've read English that was worse, tho.
