Man claims drugs belonged to his rooster

Unfortunately, this guy lost in court. Otherwise it would have set a rather convenient precedent. The Associated Press reports: A Nicaraguan defence lawyer whose client is facing cocaine charges argued Thursday the narcotics were actually in the possession of the suspect's rooster and two hens. Prosecutors dismissed the claim as "absurd and impertinent." On Saturday, police found 67.3 kilograms of cocaine and a revolver hidden in a cage housing a fighting rooster and two hens in the parking lot of a cockfighting den controlled by Francisco Armando Rivera. Rivera was arrested and charged with cocaine possession but his lawyer, Manuel Urbina, said his client was never in possession of the narcotics. "The drugs were in the possession of a rooster and two hens and the law is very clear that whoever is in possession of the drugs is the one who should be accused," Urbina said.

True but if I got caught with 67 kilo's of coke I would be trying everything I could to get out of going to jail for the rest of my life too, even if that means blaming my rooster and hens.
