Sounds like someone did not want Congo to have people on his side. This makes me very suspicious of the AC officer. I hope the James' have copies of what they gave him...... sheila murfamx4@xxxxxxx wrote: That sounds like the? "I DON'T HAVE MY HOMEWORK TODAY BECAUSE MY DOG ATE IT"???Have you ever known of or seen an animal control officer with a stray in the front seat. ? ? In my 50 years I have never seen it.? I have seen them say they couldn't take a dog because there was no room in the pens. -----Original Message----- From: MORGAN LEWIS To: castlegsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, Nov 15 9:46 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Today's News on Congo WONDER HOW MUCH THE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER GOT OUT OF THIS $250,000. MORGAN castle kennels castlegsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From today's news, it appears that the animal control officer's report was not presented in court during Congo's trial. This is an excerpt: The Jameses' attorney, Robert Lytle, said that whether or not Rivera pulled Elizabeth James to the ground is irrelevant because "the fact that Rivera grabbed her from behind first and caused her to scream ... is sufficient provocation." Lytle contends that written statements the Jameses provided to Johnson, the animal control officer, shortly after the attack would cast aside any doubt that the Jameses have been saying from the beginning that Rivera pulled Elizabeth James down, albeit to try to protect himself from the dogs. But those written statements, which Lytle has said were more detailed than Elizabeth James' immediate comment to the police, were not produced in the municipal court tria l over Congo's fate because Johnson lost them. According to Johnson, he had left the statements in his truck, where a stray dog in the front seat chewed on all his papers.
