Another article dealing with this supposed trial can be found here.

Unusual Rat Laundry Day
Another Tuesday and another day of rat laundry. I do the rat laundry after work at a coin-op laundromat around the corner from our home. Today was a bit different than usual. Usually there is no one else doing laundry at this time so all is good. I can put on a podcast or a [...]
Pet Rat Barred
