| | |  'HBP' Thief Faces Long Jail Term
Aaron Lambert, the thief who stole two copies of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince from a distribution centre where he worked on June 2, threatened Sun reporter John Askill with a gun during negotiations to sell the books, and who later attempted to blackmail UK publisher Bloomsbury, will face jail time. In October, Lambert plead guilty to stealing the books six weeks before they were to be distributed. Quote:
But in court on Tuesday he admitted all the charges, and two counts of trying to blackmail Potter publisher Bloomsbury. He previously admitted possessing an imitation firearm.
Quote:
In court, Judge Richard Bray said: "He (Lambert) is going to prison for a very long time."
Sentencing will take place in January.

Case in point, crime just doesn't pay. This dude is going to jail over a book. In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Lambert is kicking himself repeatedly over what he did.

This was a crime of greed and he deserves a tough sentence. His sole purpose was to gain money from the selling the then unreleased book. Now, his attorney is going to claim steriods made him do it and pleaded for a lighter sentence.

At last! I was starting to think that the guy wouldn't be found guilty...

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
