Remember Porky? He was a pet pig murdered by dogs and stabbed by a “hunter” in his own driveway.

Now granted, Porky, was a feral pig. He was born in the wild, but he was adopted by a family. He was extremely tame. He came when he was called. He would eat fruit out of your hand. He was part of the family.

He also had a budding film career. He starred in numerous local commercials, here in Hawaii. He also had a recurring role on Lost the TV series. Porky was an up and comer. He was some pig! A rising star, whose life was ended all to briefly and tragically.

The hunter was charged with killing livestock. He testified he was not there. He claimed he was with his pregnant girlfriend. A friend of his even testified, at the trial, that he was actually the guilty party. The friend, another hunter,  stated in open Court that he stabbed Porky. He was not charged.

The Defendant testified, he could not have killed the Pig. He had never been to Mililani. In fact, he continued. He did not even know where Mililani was located.

(Albert’s side bar: We are talking about Oahu, here. A small island. I find this hard to believe. The guy didn’t know where Mililani is? C’mon!)

Anyway the verdict was: No verdict. It was a hung jury. Out of 12 jurors, 9 wanted to convict, 2 were undecided and 1 voted not guilty.

A new trail has been set for December. And still, this poor pig, a family pet gets no justice.

Where is the justice for Porky?
