Monk seal case veers from federal court to an alleged poop package

A Maui monk seal case has now reached the part of the internet where federal court meets a mystery package of feces. Igor Lytvynchuk has pleaded not guilty after prosecutors accused him of throwing a large rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal; a judge says if he is in Hawaii, he stays away from beaches and marine wildlife. His lawyer says the backlash has included threats, doxing, an assault, and what looked like poop mailed to his home. So yes, the legal system has statutes, hearings, and fines — and the comment section brought its own evidence bag.
