## Resource

Lena Duncan, a woman facing 18 animal cruelty charges in New Zealand, stunned the court by jetting off overseas under strict bail conditions — proving she’d return within days — after her passport was briefly seized then reinstated. Her legal saga stretches back to Australia, where she was convicted of animal abuse, fled before sentencing, and even changed her name to avoid restricted status. Now, with horses and a dog seized and courts repeatedly siding against her, Duncan’s courtroom antics have drawn national attention — including a judge calling her repeated legal maneuvers an abuse of process.
