French appeals court sentences Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred to 10 years in prison for rape in a case involving alcohol. The 41-year-old Moroccan singer was convicted of rape under aggravated circumstances, with prosecutors requesting an eight-year sentence. Lamjarred's lawyers maintain his innocence and plan to appeal the verdict before the Court of Cassation. The harsher sentence may be attributed to concerns about the defendant's character and the aggressive defense strategy presented against the plaintiff.
