Fifty-seven-year-old Charles Abbot from the American city of Aspen in the state of Colorado, as a defendant in court, said he intended use the scarecrow of his owl Solomon as a protector.
The pensioner is accused of illegal entry into someone else’s home. Michael Stranahan – Abbott’s Neighbor – Turned to Law Enforcement after Charles entered his house. Old man only took away from there garden tools that he borrowed to a neighbor, however Stranahan found this behavior unacceptable and wrote a statement to the police. Michael himself was at that time with relatives for city, not giving anyone permission to visit their home. therefore his claims to Charles can be fully understood – a pensioner, if desired could set fire in the house or take away all the valuables.
During the trial, Abbott unexpectedly pulled out stuffed owl bags and informed that a feathered friend would represent his interests. Solomon, according to the defendant, was a very smart bird and judicious, and even the current state should not prevent him provide the owner with the necessary assistance.
The judge, however, ignored the presence of the unusual lawyer and turned directly to the defendant, believing that he decided defend yourself. Charles said he saw nothing bad in visiting the neighbor’s empty house and returning in this way their tools. Moreover, he took nothing but his property – garden supplies, which he urgently needed at that time needed. The stuffed owl silently confirmed his master’s words, as if emphasizing that a miracle needs to be returned on time.
In the end, the court ruled that from now on Abbott is forbidden to go to Terranahan territory under penalty of imprisonment. Lawyers present at the trial considered that the stuffed owl in the role Attorney completed the task assigned to her “excellent”: her the owner did not suffer any punishment, and go to the neighbor after this the demarche on his part, Charles Abbott, and so will no longer. Here such a somewhat funny and sad case, very characteristic of the USA.
