Radiolab
What is a Pig Worth?

And I just, you know, it pissed me off.

Radiolab
What is a Pig Worth?

Radiolab
What is a Pig Worth?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The piglets did have value to the farms.

Radiolab

Like, even if they were sick, you can't just take them.

Radiolab

And, like, you can't just take a dented can from a store.

Radiolab

you should just acquit me because I did the right thing.

Radiolab
What is a Pig Worth?

These piglets deserve to be saved.

Radiolab

The trial comes to a close.

And after that, it's in the hands of the jury.

Radiolab
What is a Pig Worth?

So if we're thinking about this almost like 12 angry men in the room, where were people's positions?

Radiolab
What is a Pig Worth?

The room was split about 50-50.
