SAN JOSE (YU) – Jersey Baca, the man
convicted last week of tossing a cute fluffy crème fraise under the wheels
of a Ford Explorer, was himself orphaned when his father tried to pull a similar
stunt during the Vietnam War. An angry mob of outraged dog lovers stoned El Fago
Baca in 1971 on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain when the elder Baca arrived for
the planned napalming of a German Shepherd puppy to protest American use of
incendiaries in Southeast Asia which had resulted in the deaths of 362,438
children, many of them civilian non-combatants.
A jury in El Segundo took 15 seconds to
convict Jersey, 30, for crimes against humanity in the death of Richard Nixon,
who was named in honor of the former president who normalized U.S. relations
with China. The case struck a nerve with dog lovers, who had donated more than
12 million dollars to find Nixon's killer, more than the gross national product
of many developing nations.
According to
Citizens for Responsible Behavior, the cost of covering the trial by the major
news networks would have fed and housed all the homeless on the west coast for
152 days. When dog lovers heard about this statistic, they could only ask:
“So what's your point?”
During the trial, the jury heard
illegally taped telephone conversations between Baca and his fiancée's
agent. During one conversation Baca and his mother had discussed selling their
story to the Daily Show for $300,000 and going on the Weakest Link to have a
“dog-stomping contest.”
Baca's attorneys failed to have the
recordings suppressed, although the state admitted the tapes may have been total
fabrications, even though they were illegally obtained.
Judge Judy Henske admitted the tapes as
evidence, citing the Norm Frink rule of jurisprudence. Frink, a deputy district
attorney in Melanoma County, Oregon, who gained fame for his successful
prosecution of Tonya Harding and Jeff Gilooley in the kidnapping and execution
of Patty Hearst, developed the theory that all Americans are presumed innocent
until they are suspected of a crime.
