Guilty.
I walked into court with a large ringed binder for each month, stuffed with videos full of dog barking and a color-coded journal describing what's on each. Times in red are after midnight, in green before 6am, in blue when it went on for more than an hour. The judge/Mayor listened to only one recording, this one on my phone, which showcased one of the many daily howl-fests I have to put up with at all hours. Didn't take 2 minutes to say "Guilty."
Dude's got 2 weeks to move the pups or face further action.
He appealed immediately, so it's not over. Next, we go to district court. But something tells me that my search for a civil lawyer just got a whole lot easier.
