Tidbits of News

I know I usually do these on Fridays, but since I missed Friday I decided to do one today.

I have no case updates today. Not because I didn't look, but because I couldn't find anything. Though Keum H. Lee's court date is just nine days away.

Tom Selleck won the lame horse dispute. Story Apparently he bought $120,000 horse to find out that it had a medical condition that wouldn't allow it to compete. I'm sure this kind of thing happens all the time (though not usually with this much money involved) and not always with this kind of result. Yes, it's the seller's responsibility to know the horse they're selling and not lie. But it's the buyer's responsibility to know the signs, be wary, thoroughly check out and ride any horse they're considering, and get a pre-purchase vet exam. You don't trust their vet, you bring along your own. At the very least get a trusted, knowledgeable friend to come along.

Original Story Story According to the owner of the horses, one of them had their throat slit and the others were shut in a corral with rat poison. Now it's believed that the horse got tangled up in some barbed wire (which shouldn't have been there in the first place), but that still doesn't explain the rat poison and graffiti.

Story I'm honestly not sure where to begin with this one. It's the guy that advertised for executioners for his horses because he was protesting a 90-day jail sentence for something that has nothing to do with the horses. 1. People that don't care what happens to their horses should not own them (meaning the investor ladies, not the guy). 2. I'm glad the county took the threats seriously and got the horses out of there. Nine mares and fourteen stallions. I hope those stallions weren't all together or it's a miracle they haven't killed each other. 3. This guy is insane. The horses had nothing to do with the jail sentence! It was for not cleaning up the junk on his property. Now the only question is: what is he going to do when he gets out? Expect to get the horses back?
