KOB TV - The verdict is guilty in the great pumpkin trial in Moriarty. A magistrate judge found a young couple guilty of shoplifting for swiping a pumpkin from McCall's Pumpkin Patch last October.
Judge Steve Jones sentenced Lauren Medina and her now ex-boyfriend Matthew Schindele to 40 hours apiece of community service, and ordered them to each pay court costs of $73. Everybody agrees the value of the pumpkin was about $2.
"There was no intent to steal the pumpkins but apparently the judge ruled otherwise," said Schindele. "We have 15 days to decide if we're gonna go ahead and accept it or take an appeal, so we're gonna take those 15 days to go ahead and figure it out." Read full story here: News New Mexico
