Laws take into account indent (mens rea)

That should be "intent", fyi. Legal code is not nearly as whitespace-sensitive as is Python.

One time, I indented my code with five spaces instead of four.

I did this because I despised Guido van Rossum, whom I think is unjustly beardy[1], and wanted to embarass him.

I was convicted of two consecutive five-year felonies, and am now awaiting sentencing.
