Kitty Cat Cleared of Kitty Porn


Well, everyone has heard about this story. A dude in Jensen Beach says the child porn found on his computer was inadvertently downloaded by his kitty cat, who jumped on his computer. Made for some great Spring copy, and of course, it was a Florida story.
But any of us who has represented anyone on a kitty porn charge knew the 'Kitty Cat Defense' would not purr its way into court. You just don't step away from a computer and inadvertently download that stuff. It actually requires a skill set. So Keith Griffin better find himself one fighting dog of a lawyer. He is getting charged with multiple counts of child pornography.

Up to 1,000 images, according to police who did not buy his story and charged him with 10 counts of child pornography last month. But last week, Martin County Sheriff officials slammed him with an additional 90 charges of child pornography. Now it appears the cat has his tongue because he is not saying much anymore.

Griffin, 48, remains incarcerated at the Martin County Jail.

The cat is being cared for by a friend. The cat may have nine lives. Probably about as many years as the dude is facing. To those who are offended by the unjust sex laws in America, a poignant article in The Economist warrants your attention: http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=14165460

Our American laws are too harsh and need review. Period. The day we can find a politician with the guts enough to say so is a day I will write about that person. I don't see it coming soon. Politicians, as the article says, just don't have the guts to do what is right, only what is continually expedient.
