A quick definition of goose case:

Term: GOOSE CASE

Definition: A goose case is a slang term used to describe a reported legal case that has almost identical facts to the current case being considered. The outcome of the reported case is used to determine the outcome of the current case. It is also known as a horse case, gray mule case, or whitehorse case. This term is often used in legal circles to refer to cases that are very similar to the one being considered.

A more thorough explanation:

A goose case is a legal term that refers to a reported case with facts that are almost identical to those of the current case. The outcome of the reported case can be used to determine the outcome of the current case. It is also known as a whitehorse case, horse case, or gray mule case.

Suppose a person is accused of stealing a car. If there is a reported case where a person was accused of stealing a car with the same make and model, and the outcome of that case was that the person was found not guilty, then the current case can be considered a goose case. The outcome of the reported case can be used to argue that the person in the current case is also not guilty.

Another example is if a person is accused of assault with a deadly weapon, and there is a reported case where a person was accused of the same crime with the same weapon, and the outcome of that case was that the person was found guilty, then the current case can also be considered a goose case. The outcome of the reported case can be used to argue that the person in the current case is also guilty.

These examples illustrate how a goose case can be used to determine the outcome of a current case based on the outcome of a reported case with similar facts.
