Dane Jury: If the Dog Didn't S**t, You Must Acquit

The Dane Cook jury must decide an issue that could ultimately go to the U.S. Supreme Court: Does dogs**t constitute a nuisance?
Read the documents
Dane's landlord wants to 86 him because his pooch has allegedly been pooping all over the common area and Dane hasn't been picking up after it. The jury is deliberating, we have the verdict forms, and here's what they must decide.

First, did Dane's dog do the deeds? Second, does crapping on the lawn constitute a nuisance, especially when the owner lets it just sit and rot? But wait! Even if Dane did the deed, if the landlord accepted rent knowing about the craperia on the front lawn, Dane could still be saved from eviction.

BTW, if it goes to the Supreme Court, we're thinkin' the name of the case would be Really Brown vs. Board of Education.

Stay tuned.

16. For the love of God - Yes, evict his ass or fine the sh*t out of him. Everyday folks get fined for not picking up after their dogs, why should he get away with it? It would be a big waste of time and money if this ridiculous case goes to the Supreme Court.

19. TMZ you are ridiculous. My family and I own and operate a property management firm in Socal and we also specialize in HOA, or condo management.

Your comments on eviction law are wrong and unfounded. You don't even know the full story or have background in Real Estate law to print it. My suggestion would be to have a lawyer read your comments before they go online. If I were Dane and you printed what you did - all the while court docs being public record - I'd be embarassed and annoyed that a person in hollywood can't even have a problem with his manager wihout the world finding out.

While I love your website and read it almost everyday - am I the only person in LA that thinks that you and all other "star-gossip" sites have gotten out of control? Perhaps if you didn't chase them, print about their dogs pooping everywhere - there'd be less accidents, people like Britany can actually get well and stars just may give you that photo op if you weren't so annoying towards them? My g-d, they are people too!

20. Come on, Dane. Can't you afford a pooper scooper service. It's only about $2.00 a loaf, including the baggies. Gross, cheap ass.
