A Horse is a Horse, Of Course, Of Course

So I'm driving home the other day, and the parkway by my house is closed. I have to exit and take surface roads home.

Following day I lookup what the deal was. Turns out that a guy was driving down the parkway, and a HORSE strolls across the roadway. He hits the horse spot on, and kills it. Although he swears he wasn't drinking, he is seen getting out of his car, and trying to pull the horse off of his bumper (and hood, and roof I suspect). Failing that, he gets in the car, rams the throttle, and is finally able to uncouple from the horse. He drives off, leaving the horse in the middle of the parkway for the next poor bastard to run into.

Hours later, the cops arrive at his house. At this point he IS drunk, but swears that he didn't see or hit any horse.

Of course, that is a problematic defense, as the cops found his FRONT LICENSE PLATE buried in the horse!
