[originaltext]M: A recent case I heard was of a man accused and found guilty of

M: A recent case I heard was of a man accused and found guilty of breaking into a house and stealing some money.
W: Well, was he really guilty, Judge?
M: He admitted that he’d done it, and there were several witnesses saying that he had indeed done it. So I can only assume that he was guilty.
W: Why did he do it?
M: Well, the reasons were a little muddied. Probably at least it seemed in a trial that he did it to get some money to feed his family. You see, he’d been out of work for some time.
W: Well, he’d been out of work and he chose to break into a house to get money for his family and apparently in front of people that, er... could see him do it.
M: His attorney presented testimony that he had indeed applied for jobs and was listed with several employment agencies, including the state employment agency, but there weren’t any jobs.
W: And he had no luck!
M: He had no luck and it’d been some time. He had two children and both of them were needing food and clothing.
W: So he was in desperate circumstances. Did you sentence him?
M: Yes.
W: But what good does it do to put the man into jail when he’s obviously in such need?
M: This particular fellow has been in prison before.
W: For the same thing?
M: No, for a different sort of crime.
W: Huh?
M: But he did know about crime, so I suppose there are folks that just have to go back to prison several times.
