Мой сосед осужден

Прошлое воскресенье стало плохим днем для моего соседа мистера Смита. Примерно в 2 дня я услышал большой шум, исходящий с улицы перед моим домом. Я выглянул в окно и увидел только шесть полицейских, преследующих мистера Смита по всему нашему району. Наконец, полицейские догнали его и арестовали на месте. Было очевидно, что мистер Смит нарушил закон. По слухам, его обвинили в преступлении простив государства. В то воскресенье мистера Смита взяли под стражу до суда. Сначала мистер Смит отвергал все обвинения против него, но после предъявленных доказательств у него не было иного выбора, кроме как признаться в преступлении. Его приговорили к пяти годам тюрьмы.
