A crime against nature

A reader suggests that Walt needs a little rest in which to lighten up, this after a pretty heavy week. So today let's move to a less serious topic, a "crime against nature" you don't hear about every day...

A 66-year-old man in the Midlands district of England has pleaded guilty to having sex with a horse and a donkey. Joseph Squires appeared in charged with sodomizing a donkey between February 2 and February 5, 1999, and a horse between March 15 and 18, 2004.

He also faced charges of damaging property, relating to the same animals on the same dates.

Squires, whose address was previously given as Overpark Avenue, Leicester, was due to stand trial but pleaded guilty to all four counts at Leicester Crown Court. Defence counsel Amar Mehta told the court Squires had no previous convictions and was of previous good character.

Requesting that Squires be released on bail, he said: “The defendant does not have a stable address.”

Unfortunately, the last paragraph of the report got torn off so we'll never know if the judge granted bail or died laughing.
