The Molly Chronicles - Jury Duty


Hello, Molly the Collie here, reporting from the courthouse.

The District attorney called his first witness, George, who wanted to go for a ride in his car. I think he needed to buy treats for his dog, but he didn’t actually say that. Anyway, his car was gone – stolen!!!!!
Later, a police officer found the car with Rudy in it. He asked George if he had given Rudy permission to take his car, and George said, “no.” The plot thickens – Rudy had special sticks for breaking into other people’s cars.

Then Alice McGuilecudy took the stand. She was getting ready to go to work (which is a waste of time, if you ask me), and her car wasn’t there. Another officer found Rudy taking a back pack and a car stereo out of Alice’s car.

There were seven more witnesses including four police officers. The stories were all the same. Rudy was found in stolen cars with sticks for car-stealing in his pocket. It looked bad for good ol’ Rudy.
Then Jerome, the defense lawyer called Rudy to the stand. Rudy explained that it was all a mistake. Rudy thought he was borrowing the cars from his friends. And he only took the stereo out of Alice’s car because it was dirty, and he wanted to polish it up.

The next witness was Officer Kevin Hansen. From the moment he entered the courtroom, my keen nose detected an elite air about him, a sense of something noble, heroic even. I pricked up my ears in anticipation waiting for him to be sworn in.

Be still, my doggie heart! I hadn’t dared to hope as much, but yes, the man was a dog handler! He worked with the K-9 Corp, an elite group of animals sworn to protect and to serve us.
I look up to these dogs. They are my heroes. 

You won't believe what happened next. Just wait till you read tomorrow's report.
