Eight people accused of assisting an Islamic extremist who beheaded a French history teacher will hear the verdicts in their cases Friday, more than four years after the death of Samuel Paty outside his school.
Paty was killed near Paris on Oct. 16, 2020, days after showing his class cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a debate on free expression. The assailant, an 18-year-old Russian of Chechen origin, was shot to death by police.
