This could go in Stupid MFers or Evil Mfers Alligator escapes from mobile petting zoo. Of course you want to tape its mouth shut so kids can pet it. Then it escapes and you can’t find it… and now it can only starve to death. > **[KC Pet Project suspends on-the-ground search efforts for missing alligator](https://www.kctv5.com/2024/05/28/kc-pet-project-suspends-on-the-ground-search-efforts-missing-alligator/)** > > The on-the-ground search effort for a missing alligator in Kansas City has been suspended. ---

So now “all” the wealthy defendants have to do is to repeat the process enough times to deplete the jury pool for a mistrial? And do the same thing over again with the next jury? I mean, yeah, it’s expensive, but it keeps them out of prison and restitution… ---

Well, sure, but proving the defendants had anything to do with this, and that this wasn’t a completely separate party acting of their own volition, won’t be easy, will it? And it already got one juror dismissed; what _does_ happen if it repeats often enough to get to a critical point? Who determines where that critical point is? The judge? If so, does that open any new avenues of appeal? ---

> [@Leaper](#): > > Well, sure, but proving the defendants had anything to do with this, and that this wasn’t a completely separate party acting of their own volition, won’t be easy, will it? I imagine it would be **extremely** easy. That’s why it’s insane that it was attempted. ---
