Donkey has his bray in court

Story Highlights• Donkey testifies in court in case over noise complaints
• Beast presents himself as well-mannered before jurors
• Case resolved before verdict announced


DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- 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 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 neighbors settled their dispute while jurors deliberated.

Talk about a waste of court resources. Gotta wonder about a judge that would allow such nonsense. Since when can an animal be sworn in, give oral testimony or his conduct at that moment be a reliable indicator of his conduct at home. Pfffft...such nonsense and any decent judge would have ruled it inadmissable.

I'm simply pointing out the requirements of relevant and admissable evidence. He was using his 'ass' as evidence, and for the reasons mentioned in my previous post, it simply would not be inadmissable.

I don't have a lower head, (I can't believe how many people think Nikita is a man's name...:confused: )...and thank god, too many men screw things up by thinking with that one...lol.

[st7860]

well, people do sometimes think its a mans name. one of the USSR's presidents had that name, for example.

Ahh, good point st7860. I had completely forgotten about Kruschev, even though I studied his regime and wrote an A paper about him in University! My bad...lol. K...well next time someone thinks I'm a guy, I'll understand why.

[st7860]

i really wonder how farmers negotiate when they buy donkeys. do they say "how much for a donkey?" or "how much for a piece of ass?" lol

[Ma_Jie]

LOL @ st7860. Another example of a Nikita being a guy: Nikita Koloff who used to wrestle in WWF.
