I'll copy-paste then. Here:
It happened during the Saturday 24 September is not taken from an American B-movie. It is the hard reality:
The 29 ** March he was found guilty of so-called "aggravated assault" - attempted grievous bodily harm with the use of deadly weapons - against six Americans, hence indirectly also has two small children.
** Weapon, according to the judgment to be renting the car her mother Liv Lars Farm and son ran the fateful day.
** Tomorrow comes the sentence. The Norwegian risk being sentenced to a minimum of five years in prison. Although he fears 35 years behind bars.
- Several witnesses believe you tried to hurt people, even kill children, with the car as a weapon. What is your comment on that?
- It has absolutely no basis in reality. Witnesses are either family or acquaintances of each other, we have found. The accusations are unreal. Why on earth would I want to hurt children? I am about to get the rest of my life ruined. Although the minimum penalty is five years, the judge may decide to add things for each other, and I can get 35 years in prison, says Lars farm.

The defective tire
For three days, VG stayed in the sleepy, windswept and bone-dry towns located along Interstate 40, in an attempt to reconstruct the incredible story:
The mother Liv running his son's Volvo that fateful morning. John Christopher is sitting and half of the passenger seat on the way from Los Angeles to Chicago.
Suddenly it starts to flash red in the lights on the dashboard. There is something wrong with one of the tires.
Life and son decide to turn off at first exit. The Winslow.
But something goes wrong, and suddenly she has run into a mid-off, the car is not driveable anymore, and both must be in the hospital to check him.
They need a rental car - fast - but it does not exist in Winslow.
Taxi driver Sandy Curry (68) are the Norwegians to the rescue and drive them to Flagstaff so they can move on.
Now it is John Christopher running. However, they must return to Winslow to pick up your luggage in the wrecked car, before they can continue the journey to Chicago.
The vehicle shall be located at Dalton Auto Parts.
Panic
Normally you will find hardly a quieter town than Winslow, but the 24th september in 2011, the annual music festival was held.
And when the Norwegians turn into 2 street - on historic Route 66 - they make a big mistake. The street is one way, and they are running in the wrong direction.

This causes many of the festival participants to respond, even if Jeff Gard is running slow. The ropes, shaking his fists.
When Lars Farm tries to swing into the parking lot behind the Dalton Auto, the car is surrounded by people.
- I panicked and asked my son to get us out of there right away, says Liv Lars farm.
John Christopher reversing the car back on the road, but hit the curb on the opposite side. And puncture.
He stops just steps away from a makeshift hot dog kiosk. Here is what a woman and her children. The car never comes in contact with them, nor any other people.
But several of the witnesses claim that this ridge is no threatening behavior and dangerous driving. While claiming the mother and son that they only tried to get away, and that they still were not aware that they had run against one-way streets no.
They drive around the block, come back to the 2nd street, but this time they all stop.
Fist
The first episode has stirred up the people. Now surrounded the car.
Michael Mendoza as the first event from inside the tobacco shop he runs, and has followed the car to walk around the block.
Mendoza is angry:
He says Lars Farm has tried to kill both his wife and their two children. They were in the makeshift hot dog kiosk when Lars farm backed on the curb.
Lars Farm has rolled down the window. The invective against shotguns mother and son.
None of them notice that Mendoza is approaching.
- So I hear a bang, and then I see the blood spurt out the steering wheel and dashboard. He has struck me with his fist in the nose so that it breaks, explains John Christopher.
Police Corps
Now he and his mother really panic. He presses the throttle, spins around in the street and run away as fast as he can.
A woman who resides at the car, gets run over toes. Another woman who throws away, get abrasions.
Besides this, no one injured.
- The one who got the most serious injury was actually Lars farm himself, said lawyer Candelaria.
Now, calling both the mother and son, 911 emergency number
They tell where they are, a few hundred meters from where the two events took place.
Right after that, police. At least ten people.
The point that gun at the car.
Police arrested both mother and son. The links with John Christopher handcuffed to the steering wheel of the car. Since he has not been on the loose.
Now it has gone to six and a half minutes from when the two began to run against one-way streets no, according to the police log.

The lawyer
- This is a very embarrassing legal scandal. The case had been dropped, from day one. There is not a single proof in the case that substantiates that Lars Farm has tried to kill someone during the six and a half minutes in an American small town he has never been in. The police did not put one investigator on the case until after five weeks, says lawyer Criss Candelaria, VG visit him at the office in the neighboring town of Pinetop.
- The witnesses were angry. And the police and the court chose to believe the witnesses' version, namely that Lars Farm intentionally tried to harm and even kill these people. But it lacks the complete proof of this, it is only a statement from them. And if Lars Gard had tried to kill someone, why he called the police and said where he was? The case is completely illogical. I have therefore asked the judge that Lars Farm gets a new trial. I have been district attorney in Arizona for 22 years. Therefore, I think this is so embarrassing, says lawyers Candelaria.
Witnesses
Several key witnesses refuse to talk to VG and will not speak before sentencing is scheduled to be available tomorrow.
But everyone else VG meetings in Winslow tells the same story:
It was a foreigner here last year that drove like a maniac and tried to hurt and kill people.
Consul: Wild thing
- The whole thing is a disgrace to the United States. He should get a fine or similar for reckless driving.
It said Norway's honorary consul in Phoenix since 2005, economics professor George Olanders at the State University Of Arizona.
- There is no evidence, even likely, that Lars Farm has tried to hurt or kill someone in Winslow. The case is completely lost. Having been present during part of the trial, I am shocked that he was convicted, said Oland.
