"Dinosaur 13"
I watched the documentary "Dinosaur 13" directed by Todd Douglas Miller. It was about the discovery of "Sue," the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton found to date. 1. The part that hit me the hardest was when Peter Larson was sentenced to TWO YEARS in prison with a $5,000 fine. All for not filling out US customs forms. Clearly he pissed off the wrong people, or the judge was just a jerk. It made me angry because his sentence was originally supposed to be 6 months since that's what the jury gave him. But the judge instead gave him 2 years. I don't think that was fair, especially considering the severity of the crime, which was pretty much nonexistent. 2. I was surprised by the fact that Sue sold for $7.6 million ($8.4 after auction fee). Even though the team from the institute tried to buy it back, the Field Museum in Chicago bought it. They were backed by McDonald's and Walt Disney Co. Sue is still on display at the Field Museum and
