Yep, It Really Happened
Man Convicted of Stabbing Neighbor Over Birds
CAMDEN, N.J. - A southern New Jersey man has
been found guilty of stabbing his downstairs neighbor to death in a dispute
over pet birds. Camden County prosecutors say 65-year-old David Giordano was
convicted of aggravated manslaughter in the slaying of 52-year-old Michael
Taylor. The Voorhees Township man had been Taylor's upstairs neighbor.
Prosecutors say Giordano poured water on Taylor's pet birds because they were
chirping too loudly. The birds had been kept on Taylor's porch. Giordano then
repeatedly stabbed Taylor with a knife when Taylor confronted him. Taylor died
from his injuries at a hospital nearly three weeks later. Giordano faces 15 to
30 years in state prison.

All ‘data’
info is from the internet sites and is usually checked with at least one other
source, but I have learned that every site contains mistakes and sadly once the
information is out there, many sites simply copy it and is therefore difficult
to verify. Also for events occurring before the Gregorian calendar was adopted
[1582] the dates may not be totally accurate.
