This is a Horrid PIECE of news- and also those that do crimes to animals are shown to also even later in life for domestic abuse etc.
There was a news item lately of a man getting 90 days in jail for releasing his dogs on someone to attack.. Everyone was horrified with this sentence. However- as I found out later- the judge felt the case had turned into a 'witch hunt".. To send such letters may have the same effect with a lighter sentence. Also I am not sure if it is a crime to send a letter to a judge for sentencing unless you are part of the party injured- but I would suspect so.. I am also confused it was referenced to be men- then juveniles- .. We have had several dog cases in Virginia that have had to go to other counties in order to insure " a fair trail", and "avoid a witch hunt". ( Perfect example was the sniper case we had up here...)
This whole story makes me sick- and I believe the people are either seriously mentally unbalenced- or the sons of Satan.. I believe the judge has a tough decission here.. But I also agree- I think writing a form letter to a judge may very well be against the law..
