New Jersey man convicted for “legal” gun possession questions judge’s judgment.
A few weeks after Aitken’s trial over the summer, Morley learned that [Governor Chris] Christie was not going to reappoint him, due in part to a 2009 case in which he dismissed animal-cruelty charges against a Moorestown cop accused of sticking his penis into the mouths of five calves. Morley said there was no way of knowing whether the calves had been “puzzled” or “tormented” by the officer’s actions.
Nappen thinks the animal-cruelty case exemplifies poor decision-making by Morley.
“Brian didn’t receive oral sex from calves; he only lawfully possessed firearms,” Nappen said.
More on Morley’s earlier ruling here.
Defense Attorney Mark Catanzaro: How do you know that’s teasing the animal? I’m just curious.
Judge Morley: Well, dangling a hamburger on a string in front of a hungry man, I guess that’s the closest analogy I could draw. The hungry man just can’t quite get to it, and you dangle it again, and he’s frustrated.
Yeah, from what I’d read as well about this guy, it does sound like he got screwed and should be cleared on appeal.
Oh, and then he should sue the shit out of New Jersey.
Maybe the cows liked it?
3: are you kidding?
Cows LOVE that shit.
I read about this early (as in really early) this morning. 4 a.m. early. I was, of course, doing my level best to find outrage in what’s been done to this guy. But you know what? After looking at all the facts, I just can’t. The guy knew the law, yet instead of using his car for the purposes of transporting the gun, was apparently using it to store it, which is clearly illegal. In addition to that, he also had hollow-point bullets and high-capacity magazines in the trunk (both of which are illegal in New Jersey). Furthermore, the issue of him moving wasn’t even raised by his defense until closing arguments, which cannot be considered on appeal.
I realize that none of this has anything to do with blowjobs from cows; I also realize that, in a free country, our government shouldn’t have any right to tell us which hoops we have to jump through to own a gun – but this guy’s case on appeal isn’t going to be a strong one.
You know, I think bestiality is just wrong all of the time, but have you ever fed a calf? Those things could suck a golf ball through a garden hose…
@5, @6, you guys did a great one-two right there…thanks.
@5 & 6:
Strong work!
#5 – have you ever tried to sing (or project tone, if you want to be picky) lying on your back? Their hips are not moving as if with a thrust, their torsos are moving as if to project sound.
Well hell. Wrong thread. That’s what I get for having multiple comment threads open!
@2 Thanks to Christie we don’t have any money for him to sue for.
