Photo credit: AP Photo/RICK GERSHON Buddy the donkey became a witness in a civil trial yesterday, reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review today.
The first witness in a lawsuit Wednesday between two neighbors was Buddy the donkey, who walked to the bench and stared at the jury, the picture of a gentle, well-mannered creature and not the loud, aggressive animal he had been accused of being.
Buddy didn't have to say much, and I don't imagine there was a lot of cross-examination of the witness.
Neither jurors nor Buddy had the last say.
The neighbors settled their dispute while jurors deliberated.
That's just as well. The two neighbors would have hated it if the jury came back and declared that Buddy wasn't the only jackass in the court that day.

Is that a flag around its neck? Isn't that an obvious attempt to prejudice the jury?
This is like Ollie North in his uniform!
I'd bet my left leg that the ant-ass faction saw the flag and threw in the towel.
Isn't that an obvious attempt to prejudice the jury?
I ass-ume so.
