Original sentence: French court ruled that his 'death' may have been staged, and was in any case unlikely to have been caused by IDF soldiers.In response, France 2 pledged to take the case to the Cour de cassation, France's highest court.Karsenty told the press shortly after the verdict was issued, "The verdict means we have the right to say France 2 broadcast a fake news report, that al-Dura's shooting was a staged hoax and that they duped everybody - without being sued".The judge commented, "it is legitimate for a monitoring agency to investigate the media, because of the impact of the images which were reviewed across the world, [and] on the conditions in which the report was filmed and broadcast" and ruled that Karsenty's claims had been within the boundaries of permissible expression
Edited sentence: Karsenty was convicted of libel in October 2006 but appealed the case.The case is now to be appealed to the Cour de cassation, France's highest court
