The BBC reports that the Bangladeshi government's nabbed their guy but couldn't get the charges to stick -
A court in the northern Bangladeshi city of Bogra has acquitted a two-year-old child accused of adultery and theft, officials say.The infant appeared in court on his mother's lap to seek bail.
...The case is not the first in Bangladesh to involve infant children facing serious charges.
In March, Bangladesh's High Court stepped in to halt the trial of four infants - all members of an extended family - who were accused of looting and causing criminal damage.
The defense? The kid claims he was framed by an uncle & that his motive was old fashioned theft -
A report in the Daily Star newspaper said that the charges against the child and seven others were filed by Jahangir Alam on 9 February.He alleged that Saiful Islam, other family members and his neighbours were all complicit in stealing gold ornaments and clothes worth between 3,000 Bangladeshi Taka ($47 ) and 13,000 Bangladeshi Taka ($204) from his house.
Mr Alam also alleged that the named parties lured away his wife, Mabia Khatun, to marry another man even though she was not properly divorced.
Yeah right... we've heard that one before. If the booties don't fit, you've gotta acquit.
