Poor kitty

Remember, ladies and gentlemen, we don't choose our clients:

"This week's Clarence Darrow Award goes to Riv(ersid) Co(unty) Deputy Public Defender Addison Steele, representing Tiger Rescue's John Weinhart in the animal cruelty trial. Weinhart and Marla Jean Smith, who pleaded guilty, were also charged with child endangerment for reportedly letting their child near the backyard alligators and tigers. PD Steele explained that the 8-year-old boy knew how to handle the animals -- and use tranquilizer darts."

It could happen. (I don't know how I missed this story earlier.)
