At least the piglets were let off the hook!

>In Lavegny, France, in 1457, a sow and her six piglets were hauled into court for having murdered and partially eaten a child. Although the sow was sentenced to death, the piglets were acquitted because of their youth, the bad example set by their mother, and lack of evidence that they took part in her crime. ____________________ **Source:** Stephens, John Richard. “Ignorance and Intelligence.” *Weird History 101: Tales of Intrigue, Mayhem, and Outrageous Behavior*.
