Jack Broda quit his post at the Tribunal of Commerce of Nancy, in eastern France, over the decision, which has seen demonstrations in France and globally. 'I decided to resign over the ruling, which at first I couldn't believe,' said Broda, according to Le Figaro. The decision sparked protests across France as well as in London, Rome, Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. The killing has drawn extra attention as neighbours claim Traoré shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and recited verses from the Qur'an while beating Halimi. They added: 'This sad affair shows that France is betraying its vow in the wake of the Holocaust to defend its Jewish population from antisemitism.'
