00:00She's not going to face time in prison though is she? This is a suspended sentence and she's

00:08What are your thoughts?

00:10Well our thoughts are that Marine Le Pen will appeal and use the judicial means to appeal.

01:00So it's up to the discretion of the judges to decide when they will plan the appeal.
