Note that there are many reasons why the court might consider AF culpable for the accident. I believe it was AF that was resisting changing out the Thales pitot tubes that were prone to icing. Perhaps AF training never informed the crew that below 80 knots IAS stall warnings were inhibited. While I am not implying that AF should be criminally liable for these decisions (because perfection is impossible), that is for the court to determine.
