A South Burgenlander was on trial for dangerous threats to two police officers. At the end of the trial, he fell to his knees before the judge and tearfully begged for a lenient sentence.
The 11-time convict took place on the dock of the Eisenstadt court, took a deep breath and began to cry bitterly. “I will never go to prison again, it makes me depressed”, stammered the South Burgenlander.
During the hearing, the 48-year-old Roma ethnic group repeatedly uttered phrases like “God should take me to him now if I don’t tell the truth” or “If I lie, I want my fingers and toes to fall off” . Before the verdict was announced, the man knelt sobbing before Judge Doris Halper-Praunias, the lawyer said: “My client can’t always control his mouth. There are often classic environmental expressions of displeasure.”
What happened? The defendant’s son had been apprehended by a patrol in the lowered BMW. “The police officers provoked me and wanted to take my license plates,” said the 21-year-old, who rudely berated the officers and, when the situation finally threatened to escalate, called his father for advice. When he answered, the junior turned on the cell phone’s microphone. Both police officers confirmed hearing the following: “If you attack my son’s license plates, I’ll cut off your hands and you’ll never attack anything again, you goddamn cop.”
Made a mess of the son
According to the defendant, he never made this threat. “I made a fool of my son on the phone and told him I would break his fingers when he came home. And that he has to hand over the license plates.” Only the connection faltered, the hands-free system in the car was constantly on “It was almost impossible to understand.”
Ms. Rat posed the question why two long-serving officials should tell the untruth in court. So: guilty of dangerous threat. Eight months in prison. probation. The 48-year-old agreed.
