He stole the book "Balloon Hunter", the court sentences the

I followed the trial against a young girl who, in order to save a citizen injured in a road accident, drove the car without a license as a witness at the scene and took the injured person to the hospital.

There the accused waited for the Police and showed how she gave first aid. The police asked for his documents and then arrested him for driving without a license. For this accusation, the prosecutor's office, with lowered eyes, demanded the guilty declaration of the citizen, although he accepted the humane gesture towards her.

At the end of the trial, I ask the judge : Honorable, like this decision, have you given others guilty verdicts that you would never have announced?

He answered : Yes. Eight years ago, I was held hostage by the case of a boy from Tirana. The police had arrested him for theft. They brought me defendants. When I read the file, I saw that he had stolen the book "The Balloon Hunter".

I asked him : Why did you steal it? He told me: I had no money, I had heard so much about this book that I really wanted to read it. I stole it, but I was identified by the cameras.

He was 19 years old. I didn't give prison for him, but I punished him!
