Summary "Chronique du crime et de l'innocence, tome 7/8" by J.-B.-J. Champagnac is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work documents tragic events, including poisonings, murders, massacres, and other crimes that occurred in France from the beginning of the monarchy to the present day, arranged chronologically. The book offers readers a detailed exploration of notable crimes and the shortcomings of the judicial system, exemplified through the story of Abbé Étienne Pacot, who was wrongfully condemned for a crime he did not commit. The beginning of this volume introduces the tragic tale of Abbé Étienne Pacot, who, having survived the upheaval of the Revolution, becomes a target of false accusations leading to his unjust imprisonment. This opening portion outlines the malicious actions of Prétot, a man who, after attempting murder and failing, concocts an elaborate scheme to frame Pacot for poisoning him and his wife. Despite compelling evidence of Pacot's innocence, the story reveals the incompetence and bias within the judicial proceedings, setting the stage for a narrative that explores themes of crime, innocence, and the quest for justice in a flawed system.
