Supriyono and Sulastri, both 19, unemployed and currently jailed, were formally charged with theft at the Bojonegoro State Court on Tuesday. The charge is the latest in a string of recent prosecutions in various locales for crimes such as stealing a handful of cookies, pilfering three cocoa pods or a watermelon. According to prosecutors, the two were desperate for money to buy food. Supriyono had lost his job as a gardener, while Sulastri lost hers as an errand girl. The hungry couple were trying to borrow money from neighbors when they saw the bananas hanging from a tree. Supriyono took the fruits and planned to sell them for Rp 7,000 (76 cents), prosecutors said. Residents who saw the incident reported it to police, who arrived at the scene and arrested the couple. General Prosecutor Arif Suhermanto charged the couple with violating Criminal Code chapter 363 on theft, which carries with it a prison sentence of up to seven years. The judge in the case advised the defendants they had a right to an attorney, but Supriyono said they would proceed to trial without one. "I'm a poor man. We have no choice but to go through this trial by ourselves because we cannot afford to pay for a lawyer's services," Supriyono said. Supriyono and his wife were sent back to the detention center, where they are being held. Sukanila said that while the crime was considered petty, the trial had to continue because "it has already reached the court and it cannot be stopped."
