| | |  '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.

No sympathy here just pity...How desperate does one have to be to steal books that could make some child some where very happy then go ahead and assult someone with a gun AND attempt blackmail. Shame shame shame

That's just sad....
I can understand stealing a copy before hand (morally/legally wrong but come on, 6 weeks early? little tempting...) but blackmailing them about it afterwords is just stupid

What an idiot! Why would you do that?
anyway, glad to hear he will be punished ... that sounded really cruel, but if your going to do something like that then you deserve to go to jail.
