Man blames cat for downloading porn

Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat.
Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1000 images on his home computer.
According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned.
Griffin is being held on $US250,000 bond in the Martin County jail.

I blame my cats for a lot - leaving the toilet set up, leaving food out, spilling beer, clothes being everywhere, mess in the bathroom, pizza being delivered - but that guy (if found guilty) should be treated and used as a fossil fuel.

Whenever I type anything that turns out to being incomprehensible the cat gets the blame.

That explains what must have happened to my old lappy when the cat threw up on it and killed it..that dam cat must have been downloading something that even made it sick.

When in law it was hard often to sit while a client gave their stories and a reasonable reason (to them) why their breaking the law was somehow acceptable.

Hi Clive,

This guy is either ultra dumb or smart and devious. By insulting the intelligence of the court may lead the jury to believe him to be too stupid to have actually committed the offence. Hence letting him off.

As to why he didn't hit the delete key, He simply was not aware of the files.

No! He is guilty. Can't be that dumb. ( Not defending that at all ).

Good one Sjastro

Cheers Marty

My cat prefers to chase the bubbles on the screen saver.

I used to have a screen saver with mice running around but he went beserk over that one to the point where I thought he was going to trash the laptop.
