Re: Called to testify Thursday and need help.
Well the judge did not say whether or not he ruled lizards as companion animals, so I am still trying to find out about that. How ever the woman who plead guilty was sentenced to probation. She has to pay her ex husband for the vet bills for the lizards, one actually survived the stabbing.
My testimony which I posted here was submitted as evidence to the judge before he passed judgment. It was edited for grammar, but pretty much remained the same. Since PETA and the ASPCA are very prejudice against herpetological societies and reptile keepers, I left all of that in because the judge needed to be aware of how prejudice the world is to reptiles and reptile keepers.
In the end I am confident it made a difference because the judge sentenced her probation, to be served cleaning up dead animals on the highway.
This I found extremely poetic because I remember the news story about this:
Roadkill must wait on Illinois roads - Weird news - MSNBC.com
Which means she should have plenty to clean up in her 50 hours of probation. I will give you all more news when I find out more about this "companion" ruling.

Re: Called to testify Thursday and need help.
I'm no great legal scholar, but if she plead out, then the judge made no ruling, right?
I do love the poetic justice of the sentence though.
