Case opinions
Planter Le Jeune acquitted of having tortured and murdered his slaves.
The Le Jeune Case (or "Lejeune case") was a suit brought by 14 slaves against torture and murder by their master, Nicolas Le Jeune, in the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1788.[1] Le Jeune was accused of torturing and murdering six slaves, who he said had planned to poison him. Despite overwhelming evidence of Le Jeune's guilt, courts ruled in favor of the planter, demonstrating the complicity of Saint-Domingue's legal system in the brutalization of slaves.[1][2] The Haitian Revolution ending slavery in Saint-Domingue would begin only three years later.
