From the Dominican Republic Daily News:
Supernatural hen to go to court
Hoy newspaper tells the story of a Supernatural black hen that is kept at the Palacio de Justicia de Ciudad Nueva, the leading courthouse of Santo Domingo. The hen belongs to Lorenzo Rodriguez, who is accused of sexually violating three minors and of witchcraft. The hen is being kept as evidence.
Reportedly, the chicken would reveal to Rodriguez what the girls he kept captive in his Villa Consuelo shack would talk about when he was out. Two of the girls, aged 14-15 years old said that the hen would be quiet during the day (apparently listening), and then talk to her keeper at night.
When taken to the district attorney's office at the Ciudad Nueva courthouse, the hen supposedly told one employee the numbers that would come out in the lottery, and he won RD$15,000. To another, the hen gave a blessing so that he would be issued a 10-year visa to travel to the United States. The next day he was granted a visa. When these two happenings were interpreted as a confirmation of its supernatural powers, the good luck hen then became an overnight sensation.
The case will be heard today at the Cuarta Sala Penal del Distrito Nacional, and Hoy newspaper says that the judge would be questioning the hen
