Man Pleads Guilty in Horse-Sex Case

SEATTLE -- A man has pleaded guilty to trespassing in connection with a fatal horse-sex case.

James Michael Tait, 54, of Enumclaw, was accused of entering a barn without the owner's permission. Tait admitted to officers that he entered a neighboring barn last July with friend Kenneth Pinyan to have sex with a horse . . . Tait was videotaping the episode when Pinyan suffered internal injuries that led to his death.

There are at least 10 reasons this man should not have plead guilty:

1. Trespassing
2. Videotaping the session
3. The man has three names. Only assassins use three names - James Earl Ray, Lee Harvey Oswald, etc.
4. The man was from Enumclaw - Enumclaw only has a crime rate of about 4%! Geez, guy. There's lots of folks getting away with much worse, like larceny, etc.
5. You don't go into a barn in July...it's too hot.
6. Never ever ever videotape your friend in a barn! It's so cheeky.
7. What kind of name is Pinyan, anyway?
8. It is impossible to conceive that the man could have received a trial by a jury of his peers.
9. Internal injuries? Awfully vague...
10. NO WITNESSES!
