Three boys and a girl, who had just turned into teenagers, took the Badner Bahn from Shopping City Süd (SCS) back to Vienna. ‘A group of ten got in at the same time as us’, one of the students recalls. What happened next led to a charge of theft…
Discussions arose between two of the young people and, according to witnesses, there were also threats. The culprit’s desire: a currently very popular brand vest. The victim: the son of a well-known ORF manager. The coat was eventually taken away.
Did the perpetrator draw a knife?
Central question in the trial: did the young defendant threaten the boy with a knife? Then it’s a major theft. “I just took a black lighter out of my fanny pack,” the tall boy claims. “Are you a smoker?” asks the examining magistrate. “No, but I always carry a lighter.”
Why did he commit the deed? “Because I liked the jacket so much.” Adjourned to hear victim as witness.
