FRANCE-JUSTICE-POLICE-TRIAL

Daniel Merchat, lawyer of the two police officers, leaves the courthouse on May 18, 2015 in Rennes, western France, after the trial of his clients accused of not helping two youths electrocuted in 2005, whose deaths sparked three weeks of rioting in France's disadvantaged suburbs. Bouna Traore, 15, and Zyed Benna, 17, died on October 27, 2005, in a high-voltage electricity sub-station near their Clichy-sous-Bois housing project northeast of Paris, as they hid from police officers milling nearby. The man on the left is unidentidfied. The court cleared the two police officers. They risked a five-year prison sentence and a fine of up to 75,000 euros ($86,000) if found guilty, but both the prosecution and defence called for them to be let off.
