Where Was The Grass?

...Continuing on with my 4-wheeler trip,

Meduna lived at the place

you can see in the back ground.

You may not be able to view it too well,

it's where the trees are.

Guess which side was 3 Strikes?

.....times up - it's on the left.

X - 3 Strikes land is on the right.

At Meduna's trial, Anissa testified

that they had someone put

the hay up, to 'show there was grass'.

My question:

To show there was grass....

when? At that time?

What about the grass

in the summer of 2009?

Was there grass on the hills?

(the foreground on the above photo is a neighbor's pasture)

The question was not

whether or not there was grass

in September and October of 2009,

the question was, how much grass was there in

February, March, and April of 2009?

When there were horses on the land,

looking for grass....

...can you see how they might have cut

the skin around their nose?

They must have learned to close their eyes

as they nuzzled in the soapweeds,

desperately trying to find something to eat.

Many of the horses had cuts

on their nose, eyes, and face.

They were trying to find nourishment

in the soapweeds.

You can see the land border.

Do YOU see any grass?

You cannot count that on the left,

it was not part of 3 Strikes.

How many times did the horses walk this corner?

Looking over the fence, they saw grass

...but it belonged to someone else.

It didn't matter where I went around the property.

It was the same thing.

The path of eaten grass on a neighbor's land,

the horse had tried to find more food.
