for the first young man, the judge presses him because he's wobbling around, smiling and giggling, he can't give a straight answer, and at one point the audio cuts in and out but the prosecutor says something about "point two oh six" which would be his blood alcohol level (0.206% BAC) at some time in the past when he was arrested, which is extremely intoxicated. so the judge was giving him a chance to tell the truth. and then gave him another chance to tell the truth.

[@viggojorgensson4708]

Excellent judge. The man told the jugde he did not take goods intentionally. He was distracted on the mobile and missed to scan items by mistake. That is why the judge could not accept his guilty plea.

[@aaronmorris8543]

@@massiv323 that’s not admitting guilt, thats saying there was a mistake and therefore the guy is essentially saying he is innocent of the charge. the judge wanted him to take accountability in clear and concise language to allow the guilty plea to move forward, but the guy didn’t actually think he was guilty because he was saying it was a mistake, so the judge can’t allow the plea to go forward and therefore has to disregard it and continue the process as if he is innocent.

[@dickrichard626]

TBF, the judge reiderated the question and the guy answered it literally when it was a figurative statement, which really he got the judge on that one. In court, it is assumed to be important to speak precisely and to avoid using figurative speach, because it creates ambiguity which can cause things to go wrong for either side.

It's a self checkout not flying the space shuttle. Although I am loath to do so I have even used self checkout in Wal Mart.
