Buddy, the name of a Donkey that appeared in court as a witness to disprove a neighbor’s claim that the ass was a loud nuisance. This was the first time that a farm animal has appeared in court as a witness. The judge has seen cats and dogs, but never a donkey. The defense attorney wanted to show the jury that Buddy was a peaceful animal and not loud and noisy.
What is the future of our justice system?
The judge should have not allowed a donkey to be brought into a court of law. For one, the donkey could not disprove the claim that the neighbor made just because it acted in a quaint manner in the court room. Second, the time of day and environment attribute to the noise level the donkey will make. Lastly, how did a dispute over a donkey make it to trial? There should be more stringent rules and regulations on what could take place in a courtroom. Perhaps there should be an oversight committee regulating the actions of courtroom procedure.
