Prominent Canadian Attorney Takes Up Cause of Lucy the Elephant

Canadian Defense attorney Clayton Ruby has taken up the cause of getting Lucy the elephant released to an animal sanctuary.

Clayton Ruby is famous for getting the wrongfully convicted out of jail.

Now, the high-profile criminal lawyer will work to free a different kind of jailbird -- Lucy the elephant -- from a different kind of cage: Edmonton's Valley Zoo.

"I have been retained to look into the Lucy problem and find a solution," Ruby confirmed yesterday.
