A Trial by Fur

BREAKING NEWS: Jurors in the landmark trial of Cat v. Mouse have entered their fifth day of deliberations with no judgment in sight. Attorneys for plaintiff Cat are seeking damages for numerous injuries, emotional distress, and public humiliation, while lawyers for Mouse claim their client acted in self-defense. In what court-watchers are calling a hopeful sign, several jurors have asked to review video evidence of the incidents.

Definitely no bias here, Andrew Y.

    I have a feeling this jury is not going to be impartial.

      How are you feeling today? Hope the pain has gone away.

        The Naproxen is really helping the pain but it make me feel really tired.

        I was thinking the same thing – probably not. But who knows, behind the scenes tapes may show that Tom & Jerry were friends, when not filming.

    Quite the variety pack! I’d love to be in the middle of that cuddle puddle.

    I think the jury pool should’ve been examined more closely.

    I’ve gotten jury duty “invites” loads of times but never actually needed to show up. Wonder if it’s because I’m not a cat.

      I might be more willing to serve on a jury if they were cats. Definitely be less stressful. And no one would complain if I sent out for tuna sandwiches for lunch.

    They are the softest looking jurors I have ever seen!

    Breaking news: one of the jurors has been dismissed for discussing the case with outsiders. Before leaving she informed the judge that she had left a box of treats in the jury room and asked that they be returned to her.
