This car carried Jacqueline Sauvage away from the Reau Prison, where she had been confined for the past 4 years. The 69-year-old French woman was convicted to 10 years in prison in 2012 after shooting her alcoholic and abusive husband three times in the back with his own hunting rifle the day after their son hanged himself. Their three daughters had testified that their father had physically and sexually abused them for years and the court heard testimony that Ms Sauvage had endured over 40 years of abuse at the hands of her former husband. French President Francois Hollande commuted part of Ms Sauvage's sentence earlier this year after a petition demanding a pardon for the abuse victim gathered over 400,000 signatures. He granted her a full pardon earlier today, succumbing to pressure from the public and from French celebrities.
