Being a PIG? A succulent Medieval pig?

spoilerActually animals went on trial a lot in Medieval times, particularly pigs, and most often for murder. Domesticated pigs were apparently a lot more aggressive back then and frequently killed people, often children, and they actually put them on trial for this.

It's one of the reasons that trails are incredibly antiquated. Trials were closer to a ritual than an actual practice of justice, just brought over towards being 'scientific' during the Enlightenment.
