An ex-convict from Southern Australia might soon find himself back behind bars after taking part in a seemingly innocent carnival game most wouldn’t even think twice about. The shooting gallery may be a staple of the carnival scene, but for Timothy Ronald Simpson, the simple game might cost him 15 years in prison.
As with most carnival games, shooting galleries see players pay to have a chance at winning prizes (usually some sort of big stuffed animal) but, more often than not, failing miserably and leaving a little bit poorer. In this case, the players are handed an air rifle, with the goal of the game being to shoot as many fake ducks as possible.
