A HARDENED CRIMINAL
A Ukrainian accused of murder and armed robbery was brought before an investigating judge. As he didn’t speak English, the court appointed an interpreter for him. A transcript from the investigation:
Judge: “Do you confess to murdering the victim?”
Interpreter: (in Ukrainian) “Do you confess to murdering the victim?”
Accused: “Yes, I do.”
Interpreter: “Yes, I do.”
Judge: “And where did you hide the loot?”
Interpreter: “And where did you hide the loot?”
Accused: “That is my secret.”
Interpreter: “That is my secret.”
Judge: “I must warn you, that the maximum penalty for murder is death and unless you fully confess, the court can show you no leniency.”
Interpreter: “I must warn you, that the maximum penalty for murder is death and unless you fully confess, the court can show you no leniency.”
Accused: “I buried it in the church yard.”
Interpreter: “I prefer to die.”
