Judge of the Day: James Morley

cow wants penis in mouth got milk.jpgHere’s an interesting question. How do we know that animals involved in bestiality don’t actually like it?

This question was recently on the mind of one New Jersey jurist. From the Philadelphia Daily News:

During a bizarre hearing [in Burlington County, NJ], a Superior Court judge dismissed animal-cruelty charges against a Moorestown police officer accused of sticking his penis into the mouths of five calves in rural Southampton in 2006, claiming a grand jury couldn’t infer whether the cows had been “tormented” or “puzzled” by the situation or even irritated that they’d been duped out of a meal.

“If the cow had the cognitive ability to form thought and speak, would it say, ‘Where’s the milk? I’m not getting any milk,’ ” Judge James J. Morley asked.

Got milk? Or milky discharge?

Children, Morley said, seemed “comforted” when given pacifiers, but there’s no way to know what bovine minds thought of Robert Melia Jr. substituting his member for a cow’s teat.

“They [children] enjoy the act of suckling,” the judge said. “Cows may be of a different disposition.”

In its weirdness, this is all very Ally McBeal-ish (although too explicit for that show).

So, how did the prosecutor feel about all of this?

Burlington County Assistant County Prosecutor Kevin Morgan was certainly irritated by the ruling, claiming the grand jury didn’t see the videos of the alleged incident, including one in which one hungry calf allegedly head-butts Melia in the stomach.

cow wants penis in mouth got milk 2.JPGShould the alleged head-butt be construed as an expression of dissent? Or perhaps the calf just wished that Melia were more well-endowed?

“I think any reasonable juror could infer that a man’s penis in the mouth of a calf is torment,” Morgan argued. “It’s a crime against nature.”

Ah, but what is a crime against nature? Many sexual acts once viewed as “crimes against nature” are now perfectly acceptable. If at least some human beings enjoy administering fellatio, how can we say — as a per se rule — that all cows do not?

Here’s the legal reason this matters:

Although a bill was introduced in 2005 to ban bestiality, New Jersey still has no explicit ban on the sexual penetration of animals, which is why the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office charged Melia with animal cruelty.

We’re with Judge Morley on this. If New Jersey had a law on the books criminalizing sexual penetration of animals, then perhaps Melia would be guilty. But in this case, where Melia is charged only with animal cruelty, shouldn’t the rule of lenity apply?

The ambiguous criminal statute should be construed in favor of the defendant. Robert Melia deserves to get off (pun intended).

Morley said it was questionable whether Melia’s alleged crimes against cows, although “disgusting,” fit the definitions in the animal-cruelty statute.

“I’m not saying it’s OK,” Morley said. “This is a legal question for me. It’s not a questions of morals. It’s not a question of hygiene. It’s not a question of how people should conduct themselves.”

Indeed. Mouth-f**king a cow may not make you a model citizen. But should you go to prison for it — especially if you live in a state that does not explicitly prohibit sexual penetration of animals?

Morgan, the prosecutor, said in court that the owner of the cows was “very upset” by the incident.

Trespass to chattels? Maybe. Animal cruelty? Surely not.

“If the penis doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”

MOO!!!

Animal cruelty is a crime, not a tort. The animal's experience of pain or pleasure is irrelevant. Only the intent and the act of the officer are relevant. This judge's rationale is that this is a victimless crime, which is, of course, easy to declare when the victim cannot think or speak.


The judge seems to hink animal cruelty laws exist merely to protect animals. This is absurd for the very reason the judge points out in his decision (that we do not know what animals think is cruel). But animal cruelty laws are in place to prevent individuals from graduating to humans after acting out their perversions and indecencies on animals.

Incidentally, by relying upon such a narrow view of the purpose of animal cruelty laws and conflating criminal and tort law, this judge has ironically provided an impenetrable (please pardon the pun) defense for those who would molest infant humans:

"Children enjoy the act of sucking."

35 - That is not my point. Certainly, no animal can expressly articulate that it is experiencing pain in the fashion that a human would. However, the burden is on the state to outlaw conduct that it deems objectionable BEFORE prosecuting.

Here, N.J. apparently attempted (or considered) a bestiality ban in 2005, but didn't follow through with it, for whatever reason. Presumably other states have such laws in place, although I am no animal law expert.

Without a bestiality statute to work with, the prosecutor in this case attempted to prosecute under the animal cruelty statute. Judge Morley refused to do what the N.J. legislature has failed to do -- outlaw bestiality. Any other outcome would have usurped the legislative role.

Making the dog perform tricks does not cause pain. It is not cruel (unless maybe you are in PETA and object to using animals in circuses).

So wait, it's okay to drive an axe through its forehead and turn it into kebabs, but god forbid you degrade a calf by imposing oral sex. How cruel, I'm sure the calf is dying in shame and agony.

It is no more aware of the sexual insult, and suffers no more, than if you had given it an Oscar Meyer.

Granted we outlaw child abuse even when children are too young to be aware, but that's because they will grow up and acquire sentience at some point, not to mention that the parents of the child will take offense and kill you, etc. You can't BBQ a toddler either, for much these same reasons, but it's A-OK to BBQ a calf.

@40 I think the difference is that there is no "torment" or "cruelty" element to child molestation. So even if the child in the judge's hypo were untormented by the experience, the judge would presumably still throw the book at the perp.

I actually think the judge is right. And I will go @6 one better: I happen to think that all conduct is "ok" (at least in the sense that you should not be thrown in jail for it) unless there is a law specifically banning it. Sorry, but neither judges nor lawyers in general should be in the business of throwing a person in jail for conduct they "think . . . is wrong" if it's not actually unlawful.

42, Your argument is dead on correct, and if this is the basis of the judge's decision, I agree it is the appropriate outcome. However, the judge himself based the decision on insufficiency of evidence that is not relevant to animal cruelty---namely, the animal's experience of pain.

This is a classic case of a judge appearing to defer to legislative intent while also doing some surreptitious legislating from the bench.

44 & 32, The fact that we kill and eat cows proves that animal cruelty laws aren't merely for preventing animals (as "sentient beings") from experiencing pain. Sure, some have supported such laws on those grounds because their bleeding hearts so compell them. But from Leviticus, to ancient Greece and Rome, from the common law to modern statutes, the prime and overriding purpose of animal cruelty laws is to prevent humans from becoming indecently barbarous: if some acts are forbidden from being committed with an animal how much more grave the commission of that act with a human becomes.

58,

My rebuttle to Mill is reality. Mill does not offer the only basis of legislation. The constitution of the united states, for example, offers a very different and equally sufficient basis for legislation---democracy: "We the people of the United States, . . . do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The legitimacy of legislation does not reside in Mill's principle of liberty. Rather, it resides in whether the governed believe the sovereign is legitimate, and that can occur even when a law criminalizes victimless conduct.

The antimajoritarian Millsian argument is just a headfake. No people will ever be any freer than they want themselves to be. If courts try to get in the way, the people just politicize them (as every president since FDR has done). Law is made in legislatures, where morals, values, manners, and mores are always pertinent and prevalent. Law will have no purchase on an individual if it does not comport with or appeal to that person's sense of morality. Thus, at best, Mill's liberal system is a mere part of the debate that animates the laws of a democratic republic, and not the basis of their legitimacy.

My opinions on homosexual marriage are exactly opposite of Mill's own opinions, as are my opinions of heterosexual marriage---state licensure of heterosexual marriage has a unique purpose of promoting procreation of individuals to whom the civil sovereign, and thus, the state has a justification for ensuring procreation is not done to the detriment of the procreated. No such justification exists for infertile or homosexual marriages. If we want to extend the benefits of heterosexual marriage to homosexual couples it will have to be on some other basis than equality, as the two couples are qualitatively different.

Incidentally, if any argument supports homosexual marriage, it must be simply that democratic citizens values have changed to find homosexual couples as desirable as procreative couples.

What's you're opinion of polygamy?

19 here. Setting the record straight. These are me: 19, 27, 43, 70, 74, 80, 84 and 92.

I actually think the best jokes on here were 29/30 and 41. Sorry 26, your version was too wordy.

104 -- have you commented on this site? The fact that its the same minute shows it can't be the same person. It takes at least 2 minutes for the page to load after you comment. hence all the double postings. That's probably the strongest evidence that 19 and 20 aren't the same person. Unless he had 2 computers open. That diabolical genius. He probably planted the Sussman story and the cow/penis story all so he could get in that joke and them immediately compliment it.

How this defendant's act is any more "cruel" to a cow than the electrocution, decapitation, and other slaughter practices in factory farms is beyond me. If the prosecutor eats beef, ever, the prosecutor should be prosecuted for animal cruelty (separate counts for every Big Mac!).

This is not a defense of the defendant (if he acted as alleged). There should be a more appropriate law to prosecute the man (at the very least, disorderly conduct, trespassing, etc.). If it is going to be animal cruelty, lock up all the meat eaters and meat producers while you're at it, as their behavior results in far greater animal suffering.

What if the guy had been found putting his penis in a loaf of bread at the local supermarket?

What if he'd been caught putting his penis in the mail slot of someone's door?

What if he'd been photographed peeing on someone's house?

Wouldn't he be arrested and charged for all of those?

At the very least, the calves deserve as much protection as a loaf of bread, a door or a wall.

Can he be labeled a sex offender, so his neighbors will always know?

Calves will suck endlessly on a prson's finger just as a baby will suck on a pacifier. (Cows have teeth only on the bottom in front, and since the tongue covers the teeth when the calf sucks, biting is not a problem. That cop knew what he was doing, obviously,) As for indecent exposure, I've seen quite a few bulls and cows naked.

OTOH the comment regarding cows and first year law students was pretty offensive.

This is Donna Goebel's X husband who turned her in.
I thought Morley's comments were a little too perverted that it was OK to seek comfort from a minor special needs student.....while her own teenage daughters and I were at home. She violated bond at least twice....and the local police let her get away with it. She slammed her youngest daughter's arm in the door and got away with it. She brought home a teenage girl drunk and made our youngest drive her around...INCLUDING to meet the 'victim" at a bowling alley. She got away with more than she was convicted of...and made us suffer for it....who's cruel here??????
