Clever criminal – Mag. Roland Friis

An Austrian burglar has been acquitted after a jury ruled he was too experienced to have committed the crime he was charged with.
69-year-old Ernst Stummer was accused with stealing £600 worth of goods from a Vienna shop after police found his DNA on a pair of pliers left at the scene.
However lawyers for Stummer – who has 18 previous convictions for burglary – claimed the break-in was not up to the standards of their highly experienced client.
Roland Friis said: “He is experienced enough to never break into a building secured by an alarm.
“Also, no halfway reasonable burglar would use such needle nose pliers for a job, and my client would have surely worn gloves. In fact it is almost an insult to accuse him of such a dilettante approach.”
