Anzorov was shot dead at the scene by police minutes after killing the 47-year-old man.
He was fired up by claims circulating online that just days earlier, Pati had ordered Muslims to leave a classroom of 13-year-olds before displaying images of the Prophet Muhammad.
In fact, Patty was teaching a lesson on freedom of speech, and before showing one of the controversial photos first published by Charlie Hebdo magazine, he advised students to look away if they feared they would be offended.
In the absence of the murderer, this trial took place over people who provided him with moral or material support.
For seven weeks, the court heard how the 13-year-old schoolgirl’s lies spiraled out of control thanks to social media.
Among those convicted on Friday was Brahim Chnina, the schoolgirl’s father.
Chnina started an online campaign against the teacher and enlisted the help of radical Islamic activist Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who is also now convicted.
Two of the killer’s friends who were with him when he bought the weapons were also found guilty, as were four people he shared radical chat messages with.
The defense argued that none of the eight had any idea of Anzorov’s intentions, and that their words and actions only became criminal when he did his act.
But the judge decided that lack of foreknowledge was not a defence, as what they had done had the effect of incitement.
