On 25 February, he was sentenced to death. An [[appeal]] was rejected on 9 June. On 10 September 1977, Djandoubi was informed early in the morning that, as in the [[Child murder|child murderers]] cases of [[Christian Ranucci]] (executed on 28 July 1976) and [[Jérôme Carrein]] (executed on 23 June 1977), he had not received a reprieve from President [[Valéry Giscard d'Estaing]].
