There was an article about Pat Wrights trial in today (Sat Feb 5) San Diego Union Tribune. It is also online at http://www.uniontribune.com Go to the Local News section and scroll down a screen or so. Title of article is "Jury Fails to find ferret bit child; owner guilty on weapon charge". It appears the jury found Pat guilty on 3 misdemeanors, one of which was the brandishing a weapon charge. Not sure what the other 2 were. Check out the article, it appears well written and seems to present all sides of the issue well. Watch for updates from Pat as well on the Ferrets Anonymous website at http://www.ferretsanon.com As all things that seem to involve Pat, this court case wasn't easy and had some strange twists. Hopefully Pat will post about it on the website soon. Chris K.
