The Trial of the Rats

In the 12 twenties, bishop giome de solus of losson excommunicated the eels from lake geneva. A few years later, he did the same thing for the leeches. All these events were compiled and explained by none other than bartholomew de chosenan,. The very lawyer who potentially got his rat clients off the hook. Bartholomew went on to have a distinguished career as both a lawyer and judge. He wrote a thorough defence of the practice of animal trials which included these examples of their ficacy. Of course, none of these stories include the actual trial, only the punishment.
