A California man is headed back to court after trying to use a photo of his pet monkey alongside a Mexican newspaper to fool a court commissioner into believing the animal had been sent south of the border. David Grigorian had been ordered to surrender his marmoset Cheeta because he did not have a permit for the animal. Authorities say the 43-year-old Van Nuys man was in court this week to show that the monkey was gone.
This has completely restored my faith in the California justice system. You might be able to make LA believe if the glove does not fit you must acquit, but damn you if you try and pull the ol' "I sent my monkey to Mexico trick." We all know that only works with Juan Valdez and his Italian Christmas Donkey named Dominic.
