The Patrick Henry affair was a French judicial affair concerning Patrick Henry (born 15 March 1953), convicted for the kidnap and murder of 8-year-old Philippe Bertrand in early 1976.[1] The trial began on January 17, 1977. A contentious issue in the trial was the validity of capital punishment in France; Robert Badinter, a fervent supporter of its abolition, would ultimately convince the jury to not execute his client.
