Prosecutors subpoena murder suspect's dog Wednesday, March 9, 2005 Posted: 1:36 PM EST (1836 GMT) BENTONVILLE, Arkansas (AP) -- Prosecutors hoping for a witness in a murder case to roll over were barking up the wrong tree. They sent out a batch of subpoenas for anyone who had contact with Albert K. Smith while he was jailed awaiting his murder trial. One of those subpoenas went out to 5-year-old Murphy Smith -- Smith's dog, it turned out. The defendant had written his dog a letter from his cell, and that is how the shih tzu's name got on the witness list. Prosecutors realized the mistake on Tuesday after the defendant's brother brought in Murphy to answer the subpoena and a deputy would not let them into the courthouse because no dogs were allowed. Prosecutor Robin Green said she apologized to the brother for any inconvenience, and added: "The dog was friendly enough and probably would have been a very cooperative witness." Albert Smith is accused of shooting to death his ex-wife's boyfriend. us.cnn.com Message 21120289
