alt Hacker NewsSarkozy is out because in France you're free until proven guilty, unless you represent a risk to society or have a high risk of fleeing, neither apply to him, hence he's free until the final verdict

Wait, in France the sentencing is done before trial? Why would he already be sentenced to 5 years without first being tried or convicted?

The other poster said sarkozy was sentenced to 5 years. How was that not the result of having been found guilty? I understand there are more trials to follow but do not see why that would free him.
