First, the news agencies have been chasing the tail of the bloggers for the last couple years. Why in the world would they give this story even a shred of credibility. The fact checking by the bloggers turned this story out within hours of the first claim. Time to get with the program.

Second, the person perpetuating this story is a Sheriff’s Deputy. He has testified numerous times over the last 6 years. In doing so he has looked twelve people in the eye, the same way he stares into the eyes of dozens of press reporters, here. That jury has counted on him to tell truth, not make up stories. Shocking and shameful.

It is worth noting that the Bigfoot hunters sought a medical expert. Perhaps the only thing more compelling than Police Officer testimony is what? That is right, scientific evidence. This hoax was uncovered within hours. The medical expert was the brother to Sheriff Deputy Whitton.  Carry on.  

If you live in, around or near Seattle, please come join the 2nd Seattle Law Blogger Meet-up.  Details can be found here, at Mike Atkin’s Trademark Lawyer website. The last meet-up was a lot of fun. We had a diverse crowd and it was a great opportunity to discuss blogging with your peers.

 UPDATE: There were a number of aspiring bloggers at our last meeting. So you are highly encouraged to attend if you are thinking about starting up a blog.
