This article is about a veteran policeman who served 27 years in the police, Abd al-Jafar Sa'adi, arrested Monday for suspicion of allegedly stealing and selling bullets from a shooting range. He was accused of stealing 80 bullets on more than one occasion. The suspect's attorney says the money he received after he stole the bullets was an "innocent loan", not connected to the bullets. He claims he did not make a profit from the stolen bullets. The suspect claimed to need to go to the hospital, as he had already had heart problems before, but he was checked out by a doctor, cleared right away and then was sent back to custody. The police claimed he was uncooperative with them during the questioning. The veteran admitted to stealing the bullets from a shooting range, but he did not admit to selling them for personal profit. Searches of his home have been conducted, but police have found nothing. The suspect's attorney is trying to earn his client credibility by throwing in the fact that this man has been serving on the police force for 27 years. The judge on the case, Judge Anat Zinger stated that the suspicion on Sa'adi is "reasonable", and has dismissed the claim that the funds he received were from a loan. The suspect's custody was extended by 3 days, courtesy of the court.Once again, I don't understand why people do these kinds of things. It is so easy for them to be caught, because of how obvious the crime. I also don't understand how someone can make money off bullets? Maybe he sold them cheaper than retail, but I sure wouldn't be buying those kinds of bullets if I needed them. That kind of situation is shady to me; the bullets would almost have to absolutely be stolen. I also don't believe the all-too-coincidental story that the money he received was from a loan. If you're going to tell a story, at least make it somewhat believable. On the other hand, I'm not sure if this man should get too much jail time, if any. It doesn't sound like that serious of an offense.
