A Criminal Bird

Police arrest a crow for the robbery of a fine jewelry store.

The stolen jewelry is found in his possession.

Not long after his arrest, the bird ends up before a judge at a bail bond hearing.  A court-appointed public defender petitions the judge to allow the crow to be set free on bond.  “He’s always been a good crow,” the crow’s lawyer says of his defendant.

“There is a lot to consider here,” the judge remarks as he pushes back in his chair, pondering.  “Franky, I have a few concerns about your crow.  First and foremost, I think he is a flight risk.”
