Spoof: Mama Griz Subpoenaed

Mike Weland published the following spoof in his online News Bonners Ferry: "In a move that surprised even the most wizened court watchers, it has been learned that prosecutors in the U.S. vs. Jeremy Hill case have, with great difficulty, had a subpoena served on the grizzly sow whose two year old silvertip male offspring was shot and killed in Boundary County on Mother's Day. Professor Henry Brubaker, doctor of jurisprudence at the Institute for Studies and an expert consultant for Tru TV, called the move unprecedented, but brilliant. "She's the only per ... er ... witness who can testify with any sort of credibility as to her family's motive in going to the Hill property that fateful day," Brubaker said. "She's the only one who can say whether those kids playing basketball were ever in imminent danger." More here.

Question: Is the case involving Jeremy Hill shooting a 2-year-old grizzly cub on his Bonners Ferry property fodder for a spoof column?
