Not enough facts provided in the story. You could say guilty for obstruction of justice, since he is lying to police. Then again that could be wrong because we do not know what he was lying about. Lying about drinking, or not drinking, hmmm? He could be not guilty because all he does, seems like, is roam around collecting money and depositing it in a checking account, which he has been doing for 30 years. He should be left alone. The dude is cool, he just figured out a way to beat the game that the rest of us could not. For all we know he could have collected large sums of money for the past 30 years, which would be as same as me figuring out a way to trade stocks and not tell anyone but be making a shit load of money on a daily basis... Good question though. Both guilty and not guilty. Not enough facts provided in the story. You could say guilty for obstruction of justice, since he is lying to police.

But whatever is given, I don't find anything against the beggar who has been mugged. Fine, he has told lies to the cops but believe, you can't prosecute him just for doing that !

There is no evidence he stole it. There is evidence that he accumulated it steadily over the years. Thus, as judge, I throw this case out with extreme prejudice against he prosecutor and warm him/her there will be consequences if he/she ever brings another frivolous case to my courtroom.

Guilty of stealing the money. Do you think that he just saved the money over 30 years or did something illegal to get hold of such a large sum of money. Ah, I should have clarified that, sorry.

Guilty of stealing the money. Do you think that he just saved the money over 30 years or did something illegal to get hold of such a large sum of money.

Of being mugged? Or panhandling? Of having money? Of impersonating a pauper? I don't get the question this time. Guilty of what? Of being mugged? Or panhandling? Of having money?
