Fraudster protests jail term up 22-metre pole.

Fraudster protests jail term up 22-metre pole. : "'I've been unfairly judged', he told Reuters from his perch in the village of Werben by telephone."

Maybe so and the system will grind through its machinations and sort it all out...again. At least he has the right to protest after being sentenced to gaol. It reminds me of when my brother's twins were young and had broken some very expensive equipment in one of their twin forays through his home. They were 3 or 4. They climbed up a big tree to get away from him. Higher and higher. He climbed up and got one of them down, but the other just climbed higher. He knew his Dad was going to be cross...but he didn't realise his Dad was fearing for the little boy's health and welfare and the broken things were nothing compared with that. My brother got a book and sat at the bottom of the tree. "Are you coming down yet? " "No." It went on and on as his wife looked on . He sat at the bottom of the tree and got cold but waited and waited. When it was getting dark, there was a little voice. "Dad..." They were in New Zealand and in a small community you can mobilise help very quickly and without a fuss. A cherry picker appeared, a safety net was put out...my brother climbed as high as he could to steady his little man emotionally...and he was brought indoors to a warm bath. A week later the two boys were sat down and talked through a process of justice for what they had done .
