Court security can sometimes find some odd things on people coming into a courthouse, but I doubt any of the officers were prepared for one woman who appeared at the Amherst County courthouse this week.
When the woman came through security, officers found this small monkey dressed in diapers and a white dress with pink flowers. The monkey’s name is Kara.
The woman was attending a hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations court,, though it is not clear whether the monkey was a party in interest. However, the woman did insist on calling Kara “her daughter.” She insisted that it would have been abusive to leave Kara alone: “Well, would you leave your child at home? She has to be close to me.”

It’s a baby. A 7 week old marmoset needs to be fed every 4 hours with formula. Since bottle feedings it wasn’t part of the woman’s comments one wonders if she knows how to care for the little guy. Srsly, buying exotic pets off Ebay doesn’t strike me as totally responsible.
Stamford Liberal,
Ouch? Me love youse
Dear Stamford Liberal, I hope you are not a student or graduate of that august institution. There was a time when the proper use of grammar and correct spelling counted for something, like grades. Just consider me a New York Conservative with a penchant for our language.

“I want one”
I was thing the same thing but worry it pooping all over the place … I wonder if it could be potty trained …
Before we all leap to unwarranted conclusions, has anyone considered the possibility that the monkey was merely responding to a jury summons? Have you already forgotten the story of Sal Esposito?

Well rafflaw,
Did they offer him a gun and asked why the brother was out of uniform….
I want one
Asked who let the monkey through the metal detector, deputies quipped: “It wasn’t armed.”

“No Ma’am this is the STOPES trial. I think you misread that.”
I thinks it’s nice this woman wanted to show George W. Bush was a courtroom looks like, and how our judicial system works.

Likely an impossible ruse, methinks.

I’ve seen quite a few monkeys in the courthouse. Some even were perched up high and swung sticks around.
