Wisc. Attorney Finds Goat's Head in Office


A Milwaukee attorney may have been expecting Victoria's Secret gift set from a client Victoria's Secret when a pink bag was found outside of her office. Instead, attorney Robin Shellow found a bloody goat's head.

There was a note in the goat's mouth which reportedly contained a name, but not the name of a suspect.

So far, Milwaukee police have been unable to trace where it came from. They have checked area meat-packing plants but found none that processed goats.

The culprit is either a practitioner of Santeria or an enormous fan of CSI. This story is somewhat reminiscent of that episode of CSI:Miami when they discovered a goat's head in the closet of a dead woman (CSI:Miami, Curse of the Coffin, 2006). Based on Shellow's somewhat tongue-in-cheek response, she might actually agree.

"August 27th was a full moon and also a lunar eclipse. It is my understanding there haven't been any of our elected officials' sons or daughters charged with slashing tires or voter fraud, and since I haven't invented any new criminal defenses for any clients in the last few months, I assume the individual was trying to get my attention."

Shellow may be best known recently for representing one of the men convicted of slashing the tires of Republican campaign workers in Milwaukee during the 2004 presidential race.
