French law is based on an entirely different legal system compared to US (and Anglosphere law): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_legal_systems#/media/File:Legal_Systems_-_Global.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_legal_systems... It might not be possible to do something like that in France (though I assume there are other mechanisms available in that case).

  And your point of trivia is not applicable here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Ninth_Circuit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals... -> Louisiana isn't in the list for the court that handled that trial.
