Lawyers...snakes and the long arm of the law Snake alive in the US mail Reuters, Little Rock Wednesday July 9, 2003 The Guardian An Arkansas lawyer and his son have been charged with using the US postal service to send a man "nonmailable matter" in the form of a deadly copperhead snake, federal prosecutors said. Lawyer Bob Sam Castleman and his son Robert Jerrod Castleman were charged last week on suspicion of mailing the snake to a fellow resident of Pocahontas, a small town 140 miles northeast of Little Rock, "with intent to kill or injure" the addressee, prosecutors said. The pair face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. The 3ft snake arrived alive at the recipient's home but no one was injured. "I am not at liberty to speak about motive at the moment. That will come out in due course," said Bud Cummins, a US attorney in Little Rock. The copperhead survived its trip through the postal system and arrived in September 2002 at the home of Albert Staton, considered the target of the attack, according to court documents. Mr Staton's wife opened the package and called police, who arrived and killed the creature.
