Hi ayka_24,

What do you mean by "article"? device?

items of the criminal code are called in general Article

Well, in that case I don't understand the sentence. Could you explain it in different words?

of course walk means - выити из тюрьмы
He hoped to walk in a short time due to the Article lightness ( he hoped to leave prison due to the lightness of the item of the criminal code assigned to him )

Hum...you mean that:

"He expected to be released (from prison) soon because the indictment (against him) was light."

@ Guys, could you check this one? My legal lexicon is not wide enough, I guess...

"He hoped to get out soon, because he had only been convicted of a minor crime."
...?

Yes you are right we can form this sentence in various versions. we are not good at this field ( law ) because we did express only our opinions .

This looks like a machine translation. I would reject it as the translator does not appear to know English well enough.

On the other hand, I believe that Ian's version above is the correct one.

I would put it this way: "Because of the minor nature of the matter, he hoped to be out in a short time."

I don't think the original actually SAYS "crime" - it just implies it. "Madde" means "matter" or "issue" (it also means "article", but not here).
