Do police dogs make any better witnesses than police?
I thought their testimony was considered hearsay.
K9 Deputy called to testify in court
PUNTA GORDA Fla.- For all intents and purposes, things went pretty smoothly in Judge Peter Bell's courtroom Thursday. That is, until Rodney McGee showed up.
After having his case number called, McGee almost immediately asked the court for an extension because everyone was not present.
"I demand Officer Azor K9 be present," McGee demanded as K9 Deputy Azor was brought into the courtroom behind him.
"They told me they weren't going to allow him," said McGee, who was a bit shocked himself to see a dog in the courtroom.
