Donkey in court to testify


Dallas - Faced with complaints that his donkey was too loud, attorney Gregory Shamoun decided to bring his case directly to the court: He had the donkey testify.

Buddy the donkey appeared in court on Wednesday. He walked to the bench and stared at the jury, the picture of a gentle, well-mannered creature and not the loud, aggressive animal he had been accused of being.

Shamoun was in a dispute with oilman John Cantrell, who had complained to the city about a storage shed Shamoun was building in his backyard in Dallas. Cantrell said Shamoun retaliated by bringing the donkey from his ranch and putting him in the backyard.

Cantrell complained of donkey noise and manure piles.

"They bray a lot any time day or night. You never know when they're going to cut loose," he testified.

Despite the donkey's appearance, neither jurors nor Buddy had the last say - the neighbours settled their dispute while jurors deliberated. - Sapa-AP

I fail to see the oddity of this.....

Talk about talking through your......... oh you know what I mean. ROTFLMAO



Falling over with laughter,
Mabon.

i hope he dont make an ass out of himself.

"Your ass is too loud"
"Don't talk about my Buddy like that"
"I'll sue your ass in court"
"My ass will Be There"
...
"sorry about picking on your loud ass"
"no problem, I'll try to keep my ass on the other side..."

Wonder if there's any reports of the jury breaking out in fits of laughter

mmm I bet he was a naughty donkey on the quiet. He was very bray-ve to take the stand though

Err..okay. If it helps your case......
