Quote from the article:
| Since one of the conditions of Michael Letendre's probation was that he was to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, that was probably not a good idea. Needless to say, the 19-year-old was arrested and charged with theft. "It's more a crime of stupidity than anything," said defence lawyer Nicole Sissons, telling court her client rode the stolen bike to the police station as he didn't want to miss the appointment because his probation officer had threatened to jail him for breaching his probation. "It defies logic," she said. "There is no excuse for it." Several people in the gallery laughed when the facts were read out, and even the judge had a chuckle. "You know, if you could incorporate these stories into a novel, it would read so badly," said Judge Darlene Wong. |
