Posted by salaamallah@hotmail.com on Fri Jul 28 03:51:34 2006 A man convicted of stabbing his niece's German shepherd was sentenced to nine years in state prison. ( los angeles yahoonews )A Superior Court judge issued the maximum sentence Thursday to Hugo Vargas Garcia, 41, despite a defense attorney's plea that he is a paranoid schizophrenic. Attorney Peter Weiss also noted that Garcia's conviction for animal cruelty was not a "serious or violent felony." "That's as high a degree of callousness and viciousness as I've seen in this position," Judge Anita H. Dymant said. The dog survived the November 26 attack. The dog's owner, Judy Ream,..@ ( please note a white femaile ) pleaded with the judge to show no leniency, contending that Garcia showed no remorse. During trial, Ream and her husband, James, testified that they saw Garcia plunge a Swiss army knife into their 2-year-old dog lbecause he was upset by its barking and said he was was attacked "I raised this dog since he was a puppy," Ream said. "I cannot begin to describe how I felt when I saw a knife stuck in him!! Attorney Sandi Roth said Garcia was a threat to public safety and noted that he previously served jail time for numerous thefts and weapons violations in his distant past.. when he heard he would have to serve 9 years in prison reccomended, the defandant exploded in anger in court ( shown here on local TV ) Garcia did not hear his actual sentence because the judge ordered him removed from the courtroom for repeatedly screaming at the prosecutor ..............9 years in prison ? ..............whatttt ?? i guess a dogs life is worth more than a human being ? do not be mexican and stab your white neighbors german shepard !! 9 years in prison ?.............!!!! .........................................................! this is how it looks to me !! way over the top |
