This is justice.
This is justice.
The accused was a 15-year-old boy. Caught stealing from a store. He tried to escape from the guard when he was caught. A store shelf was also broken during the resistance.
The judge heard the indictment and asked the boy, "Did you really steal something?"
"A packet of bread and cheese," the boy admitted.
"Why?"
"I needed to," the boy replied curtly.
"Buying"
"There was no money"
"Take it from the family"
"Only mother at home. Sick and jobless. Bread and cheese was foraged for her."
"You don't work?"
"Used to work at a car wash. Took a day off to take care of mom and got fired."
"You should have asked someone for help."
"Begged since morning. No one helped."
The cross-examination ended and the judge began to deliver the verdict.
"Theft, and especially the theft of bread, is a heinous crime. And we are all guilty of this crime. Everyone in the courtroom, including me, is guilty of this theft. I would have fined everyone here and myself $10." "No one can leave the court without paying ten dollars." After saying this, the judge took out 10 dollars from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Furthermore, I fine the store management $1,000 for inhumanely treating a starving child, handing him over to the police. If the fine is not paid within 24 hours, the court will order the store to be sealed. "
The closing remarks of the judgment were: "The court seeks forgiveness from the store management and attendants by paying the fine to the boy."
After hearing the decision, the audience was in tears, the boy's hiccups seemed to have stopped. And he was looking at the judge again and again.
(Societies of "unbelief" do not flourish like this. They provide not only justice but also justice to their citizens).
