Talk:Bertrand Cantat

"Convicted Murderer"??
Bertrand Cantat has NEVER been convicted of Murder, but "only" of Manslaughter. That's a fact and thus the allegation made in the Article is a severe false statement. If there had been a conviction of Murder, Cantat would be in prison to this very day and he wouldn't have been sentenced to only 8 years in prison nor would there have been a chance of being released after only 4 years. So Cantat is a convicted Manslaughterer not a Murderer. Please check reliable sources and make a correction. As one can see in this old NY-Times-Article, Cantat was suspected to have killed his girlfriend in an act of manslaughter almost from the beginning. Early suspicions he might have murdered Marie Trintignant were soon abandoned and replaced by suspicions of manslaughter. Mainly caused by the state auf severe devastation and mental instability Cantat was found in, after he had realized what had happened. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/02/style/02iht-dupont_ed2_.html?pagewanted=all — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.229.180.27 (talk) 19:29, 22 February 2013 (UTC)


 * He was convicted of murder with indirect intent, as the article explains.2A02:2F0F:B212:BA00:30E4:C729:1153:3A8C (talk) 22:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

"While rowing"
The use of the word "row" to mean "quarrel" is not in standard usage in American (US) English. As a result, the phrase "While rowing with his girlfriend" suggests a boat of some kind (to those not acquainted with the British usage of the word).

House burned down
Was it arson? If so, was anyone ever arrested in connection with the fire? Was it (thought to have been) done in revenge for him killing Marie Trintignant?

Son of a Naval Officer
Of what nationality? This can have an impact on the inherited citizenship of Bertrand, and is an imrtant point as his citizenship(s) isn't/aren't mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpounsett (talk • contribs) 19:13, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Bertrand, not Bernard
Could someone please change Cantat's name right at the beginning from Bernard to Bertrand. I tried to do it, but Idk why my correction was not accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.4.30.234 (talk) 17:21, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

video
"Shortly before her death, Rády had complained of mental abuse by Cantat. The physical abuse she complained of in the video[specify] is that he threw some objects at her, but she never mentioned that he was assaulting her. According to Cantat, Rády's parents had spent a week with him after the suicide"

There was no video it was a message on an answering machine. The message was in hungarian and the translator was friend of Kristina Rady but she said her translation was used against her will and against Rady's parents will ( https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/eva-almassy/un-message-sur-repondeur-affaire-bertrand-cantat_b_3844070.html ). It's also worth noting that the parents of Rady and Cantat conjointly sued for defamation the man and the lawyer saying that Cantat had abused and possibly murdered Rady. https://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/societe/justice/bertrand-cantat-porte-plainte-en-diffamation-contre-l-ex-compagnon-de-krisztina-rady_1297094.html       also http://www.bfmtv.com/societe/info-bfmtv-suicide-lex-femme-cantat-justice-ne-rouvre-pas-lenquete-655932.html Supposedly, the man had 9 witnesses to corroborate his statement but he failed to convince the court.

What is the truth? I don't know but it seems to me that the people who burned down her house as a "revenge" or disparaged her testimony during the audience, or called her children "children of a murderer" have as much responsibility in her suicide as Cantat - if he really did what he did. All those people who demonstrate against Cantat are responsible for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.213.152.162 (talk) 01:59, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
