She was about smuggling them out of the country.
She was arraigned by the court of law.
In the court, the judge asked her why did she want to smuggle them through the borders.
But she denied that the exhibits were not for her.
She told the court that what she was carrying across the borders before she was arrested was water and not alcohol as the law enforcement agents alleged!
The judge asked her if the twenty five, fifty litres jerricans before the court were the same jerricans that she said contained the water.
She agreed but argued that the content of the jerricans was water and not alcohol.
The judge became really angry with her and he asked that some the content of the jerricans be given to him to taste!
When he had tasted from each of the twenty five jerricans, the content was actually alcoholic drink!
He then told the woman that the content was actually an alcoholic drink!
Yet the woman denied saying that the judge was not truthful! And so the judge asked everyone in the court to taste the content of the twenty five jerricans including the law enforcement agents as well as other judges and the lawyers!
When they did, they all confirmed that the content was alcoholic drink!
The judge became extremely angry with the woman and he raised up his gavel and hits the table with it saying, "For smuggling and at the same time lying, l sentence you to ten years imprisonment without an option of fine".
And the accused said to the judge, "My lord, remember that it is also in the law that whosoever eats from a stolen product is also guilty of the crime. That means that all of you who tasted from the alcohol will also serve the same jail terms with me because all of you are now accomplices of the crime!"
When the judge realized the implications of what the accused just said, he reversed his judgement and said, "This woman was wrongly accused of the crime which she didn't commit all alone. For that, she is hereby discharged and acquitted!"
