In reply, Amati propped up a pair of buffalo horns and insulting poems in his window; the display drew him an eight-month suspended sentence. His patience gone, Amati then got himself photographed in the newspapers with a two-finger corna defiantly aimed skyward. Tossed into jail, Amati was provisionally sprung last week pending an appeal of his original conviction-based on his claim that the buffalo horns were legal because they were inside his property...
