Sometimes it's better to save the argument (Photo: ShutterStock)

A nonsensical argument over a NIS 20 discount for parking, which led to curses and threats, almost cost the law student a criminal conviction that would have severely damaged his professional future - according to the decision not to convict him, despite the recent indictment against him in the Rishon Lezion Magistrate's Court.

The student was represented in the legal proceedings by Adv. Shlomi Bizek.

According to the indictment, the student, who worked for a living at Ben Gurion Airport, was required to pay a full parking fee of NIS 20 when leaving the parking lot, while as a Ben Gurion employee he is entitled to a discounted price of only NIS 2. In his anger, the student informed the parking attendant, using the intercom, that he did not intend to pay for the parking. When the attendant informed the student that he had to pay the full amount, since the parking hours on his card were over, an argument developed between the parties, which soon escalated into mutual curses and threats. "Make me a price for two shekels an hour, before I come, I will burn you" and "Open already, you b ** z ****, I will come to *** you."

Following the exchange, the student summoned the police to the scene, but to his surprise, in the end a criminal indictment was filed against him for threats, which was brought before the Rishon Lezion Magistrate's Court. The prosecution noted in the arguments for punishment that this is not the first time the student gets involved with the law About three years ago, a criminal proceeding was initiated against him for disturbing a police officer. The proceeding ended without a conviction, and he was sentenced to probation (hours for public benefit) and a probation order.

In another case, the student was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and was sentenced to probation, a fine and disqualification from actual and conditional driving license.

In defense of the student, his attorney Advocate Shlomi Bizek argued that if convicted, his professional future could be significantly harmed. As is well known, a criminal record does not allow law students to qualify as lawyers. After negotiations the parties agreed that charges against the student would be significantly reduced. The student made very harsh threats, and even attempted trampling, but these charges were deleted from the amended indictment.The prosecution insisted on wanting to convict the defendant in the indictment, while his attorney, Advocate Bizek, sought to avoid conviction.

After hearing the parties, the judge decided not to convict the student, even though this is a second criminal proceeding against him and despite the traffic offense in his past.

In her ruling, the judge ruled that "although this is not the first time the defendant is on trial, in light of the circumstances of the case - in which the offense, although not trivial, according to her circumstances is not serious, and the defendant may suffer actual and significant harm to his professional future. The parties reached out to him and despite the fact that the state / prosecution insisted on his conviction - I found it necessary to adopt Adv. Bizek's position not to convict the defendant this time either. "
