WHO AMONG US WAS NOT A RECIDIVIST?
Cyclist to stand trial for 'falling off bike' (Associated Press, 30th August 2003)An 11-year-old boy in Greece is to stand trial after falling off his bike during a race.
The boy on the eastern Aegean Sea island of Chios has been ordered to stand trial on October 13 for allegedly violating eight articles of the penal code and one traffic violation for falling off his bicycle during an annual race. [...]
The island's prosecutor said the boy fell because he was "not driving carefully and with constant rapt attention" and ordered him to appear in juvenile court.
Lucky he wasn't trying to sell lemonade from the bike or he might get the death penalty. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 30, 2003 1:28 PM
