The latter's younger sister, who went! to the same school, had a ticket dated May 3rd to August 2nd. The incident which led to the prosecution occurred on May 22nd, when neither of the defend- ants had a season ticket.
What happened was that one girl took her younger sister's ticket, which happen ed to be split slightly. She split it com- pletely in half, and put the back half in her ticket case, leaving the flap in ber sister's case...
He understood that the sister was quite
