Kim Kardashian trial: 8 of 10 found guilty in 2016 jewelry heist

Kim Kardashian trial: 8 of 10 found guilty in 2016 jewelry heist

She was tied up and held at gunpoint during the robbery



Nearly one decade after Kim Kardashian survived a robbery in her Paris hotel room, eight defendants were found guilty of crimes linked to the robbery.


A panel of three judges and six jurors delivered the verdict in a Paris courtroom Friday. Two of the 10 defendants were acquitted.


In his sentencing, the judge said Friday that he took into consideration the defendants' ages as well as the time that had passed since the incident, and the defendants' clean records during that time.


The sentences -- ranging from three years to a maximum of eight years in prison -- were less than what was requested by the prosecution. Counting time already served and with the sentences mostly or entirely suspended, none of the defendants will return to prison.


The defendants have 10 days to appeal the ruling.


Kim Kardashian was informed of the ruling and she will not appeal, according to her lawyer, Leonor Hennerick.


"Kim Kardashian is aware of the decision and is satisfied," Hennerick told reporters outside of the courtroom. "Justice has been served and she can now move on. She will continue with her rehabilitation project."


Nine men and one woman were accused in connection with the robbery. Five masked men posing as police officers allegedly stormed into Kardashian's hotel suite and made off with valuables worth at least $6 million, including a diamond engagement ring given to Kardashian by her then-husband Kanye West. That ring alone was said to be worth about $4 million.


Kardashian traveled to Paris to testify during the trial, telling the courtroom she thought was "going to die" during the robbery.


"I absolutely thought that I was going to die," the reality TV star and entrepreneur said in her May 13 testimony, adding, "I kept telling them that I have babies, and that I needed to go home to my babies."

In her testimony, Kardashian, a mom of four, said she was packing at about 3 a.m. during Paris fashion week in 2016 when "two men came into my room -- they were dressed as police officers." The men were leading the hotel's concierge, who was handcuffed, she told the court.

Kardashian told the judge she was tied up, gagged and thrown into a bathroom.


She testified that while she was still tied up in the bathroom, she managed to scoot over to the sink and get her hands free. With her feet still tied, she said she hopped downstairs, where her friend, Simone Harouche, helped untie her.

Rodney Hinton Jr. has been charged with aggravated murder in the death of the sheriff's deputy, who was struck Friday while directing traffic near the University of Cincinnati, according to authorities. Cincinnati police said Hinton is the father of 18-year-old Ryan Hinton, who was shot and killed by an officer the day before. Rodney Hinton Jr., seen here in court, has been charged with aggravated murder in the death of a sheriff's deputy. WCPO At a court appearance on Saturday, Hamilton County sheriff's deputies packed the courtroom in support of the fallen deputy, according to ABC Cincinnati affiliate WCPO. Prosecuting attorney Ryan Nelson said that Hinton Jr.'s movements in his car on Friday were "calculated and premeditated." He added, "He lined up his car, deliberately accelerated his car and purposely caused the death of an on-duty deputy sheriff." The attorney representing Hinton Jr. said that he faces a "very serious, very terrible charge" but noted that he has no felonies in his record. "I understand that this is an emotionally charged situation," the attorney said, mentioning the death of Hinton Jr.'s son. He added, "I understand that there is a lot of sadness and a lot of anger in this room right now and in the community at large." The judge ordered Hinton Jr. held without bond in the Clermont County jail until his next hearing on May 6.

The attorneys are Michael Wright, Shean Williams and Robert Gresham of The Cochran Firm, as well as Anthony Pierson of Pierson and Pierson, LLC, according to WCPO.

  Israel-Iran updates: Israel and Iran agree to ceasefire, Trump says The agreement has two 12-hour ceasefire periods before the war is over, he said. Iran carried out a missile attack on the United States’ Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, according to a U.S. official, two days after  the U.S. struck three nuclear sites in Iran. There are no reports of casualties at the base, according to a U.S. official.
