Just before he sentences the guy, he asks, "what possible reason, on God's green earth, would ANYBODY have for killing a bald eagle, the symbol of our Nation's pride?"
The man replied, "well, your honor, I'm a private pilot, and I was flying over some wooded area when my plane developed engine trouble, and I crash landed into the forest.
I broke my right leg and left arm in the crash, and was all alone for 8 days and nights, and I was beginning to die of hunger.
I saw a bald eagle land in a tree above my plane crash, and I picked up a rock and threw it at him, never imagining I would actually hit him and kill him.
I made a small fire, grilled the eagle, and it literally saved my life, and I was rescued the next day.
The judge, impressed, pronounced the man not guilty, due to the extenuating circumstances.
The man thanked the judge profusely, and was leaving the courtroom when the judge called, "hold on, just a second, I just have one more question"
The man stopped and turned around, and the judge asked, "I just gotta know, what does eagle taste like?"
The man replied, 'it's actually pretty good - somewhere between spotted owl and California Condor".
