One man underwent surgery and is expected 64 00:03:48,534 --> 00:03:50,934 Speaker 1: to survive after being shot in the neck while riding 65 00:03:50,974 --> 00:03:53,454 Speaker 1: in the back of a car. The shots were allegedly 66 00:03:53,494 --> 00:03:55,574 Speaker 1: fired from the window of a unit above a shop 67 00:03:55,654 --> 00:03:59,414 Speaker 1: during the nearly two hours standoff.

The appeals court is 73 00:04:16,134 --> 00:04:20,374 Speaker 1: set to hear a man challenge his conviction. Whosometin Doan, 74 00:04:20,574 --> 00:04:23,574 Speaker 1: was sentenced to nine years in prison last December, but 75 00:04:23,654 --> 00:04:27,174 Speaker 1: he denies he intended to rape Pelico. He alleges he 76 00:04:27,254 --> 00:04:31,014 Speaker 1: was deceived by Dominique Pelico, Jiselle's ex husband, who drugged 77 00:04:31,014 --> 00:04:34,734 Speaker 1: his wife and offered her to strangers while filming the assaults. Doan, 78 00:04:34,894 --> 00:04:37,494 Speaker 1: a forty four year old construction worker, goes on trial 79 00:04:37,534 --> 00:04:41,334 Speaker 1: on Monday in Nime, southern France. He remains free pending 80 00:04:41,374 --> 00:04:45,214 Speaker 1: the verdict. Prosecutors had sought twelve years at his first trial, 81 00:04:45,494 --> 00:04:49,374 Speaker 1: but the court imposed nine. In the original proceedings, Pelico's 82 00:04:49,374 --> 00:04:52,214 Speaker 1: ex husband and fifty other men were convicted of sexually 83 00:04:52,254 --> 00:04:55,534 Speaker 1: assaulting her between twenty eleven and twenty twenty while she 84 00:04:55,614 --> 00:04:59,494 Speaker 1: was under chemical submission. Dominique was sentenced to twenty years 85 00:04:59,494 --> 00:05:02,694 Speaker 1: in prison, while sentences for the other defendants ranged from 86 00:05:02,734 --> 00:05:06,654 Speaker 1: three years to fifteen years. Of the fifty one convicted men, 87 00:05:06,814 --> 00:05:10,854 Speaker 1: seventeen initially filed appeals. Most of those were withdrawn, and 88 00:05:10,934 --> 00:05:14,814 Speaker 1: only Doane pursued his appeal. While last year's trials stretched 89 00:05:14,854 --> 00:05:17,614 Speaker 1: over four months, the retrial is scheduled to last no 90 00:05:17,654 --> 00:05:21,014 Speaker 1: longer than four days, with a verdict expected on Thursday. 91 00:05:22,134 --> 00:05:25,574 Speaker 1: That's your evening news headlines.
