I read this in the news paper and just wanted to share with everybody. 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 her 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 Shouman was building in his backyard in Dallas. Cantrell said Shamoun retaliated by bringing the donkey from his ranch and putting it in his backyard. Cantrell complained of donkey noise and manure piles. "They bray alot any time of the day or night.You never know when they're going to cut loose," he testified. Despite the donkey's appearence, neither jurors or Buddy had the last say- the neighbors settled their dispute while jurors deliberated. It's amazing the things that go on in courtrooms today. Don't you agree?
