A judge will decide within months whether Tommy Zeigler, on death row 50 years, gets a new trial. Here's a story on how this is all playing out. https://t.co/3JpkmO0asZ
He is trained to ignore tourists, hecklers, and bad weather. He was not trained for this.The Queen's Guard is famous for their discipline. They are forbidden from moving, smiling, or reacting to anything. But this local stray cat didn't care about royal protocol.
He saw the red uniform and the giant fuzzy hat and thought: "New scratching post." While tourists watched in shock, the ginger tabby climbed up the soldier's back, sat on his shoulder, and inspected the hat. Through it all, the guard didn't flinch. He didn't blink. He stared straight ahead while being used as a human jungle gym. The soldier deserves a medal for discipline. The cat deserves a medal for audacity.

Tommy Zeigler has been in a death row cell for 50 years. And now a DNA expert and a veteran homicide investigator say it is impossible for him to have killed his wife and her parents on Christmas Eve 1975. A hearing next week will determine the outcome.
@WriterLeonora will be in court next week as this latest chapter plays out. Really, a remarkable turn of events, where a judge will hear evidence in a crime committed a half century ago. Follow @TB_Times for more. https://t.co/l1lDbBQ2aH
