Dog appears as witness in murder case
A dog called 'Scooby' has appeared in court as a witness in a murder hearing ... and no we have not started reporting news from cartoons.
The pet was with its 59-year-old owner when was she found hanging from ceiling of her Paris flat. Though police believe it was a suicide the family have demanded a murder trial.
During a court hearing, the dog was led to the witness box to see how it responded to a suspect - it barked furiously - a judge will now decide if the 'evidence' is enough to launch a full trial.
The Palais de Justice in Paris has confirmed the dog appeared in the court and said they were sure it was a world first.
If the case does go ahead we can expect to see the suspect ripping off a mask and shouting: "I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
why put a dog it court?... haha it would be funny would'nt it, did you murder this man. "WOOF WOOF" lol.
Any jury would have to be barking mad not to listen to a dog.
