A former child soldier who was arrested in 2002 at the age of 15 for war crimes (namely, being responsible for the death of a US soldier) had his Lord of the Rings screenplay removed from his possession. His lawyer, who was also banned from playing chess and dominoes during their official visits, provided him with the screenplay in order to build a rapport with the prisoner in order to better work his case.
