Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com I hope someone is able to keep a close eye on him while he's doing his "community service" at the animal shelter. Staff certainly would not be able to do that because they usually are already overworked. The concept is good, but I would not trust him alone with any animals. MaryL |

I hope the shelter folks monitor him closely! On the surface, it sounds like a fitting punishment, but without close supervision, he might abuse the animals in the shelter.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, too! But they will probably give him jobs like cleaning stuff, etc. I imagine they would use caution.

I can definitely see community service - and more than 100 hours would be fine. But why should society pay to lock this guy up for months? Is that going to make him learn his lesson more than a trial and hundreds of hours of community service? Chak -- Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power.

If nothing else, that might throw some fear into him that would dissuade him from future acts of cruelty. Six months is a fairly short time, and it is likely that he will not serve the entire six months. As to society paying for it -- isn't that what happens any time we sentence a person to jail/prison for any offense? I would agree with you for many nonviolent offenses, but this was an act of deliberate cruelty and violence. MaryL |

Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha I never can understand the logic behind this choice of community service sentence. Hello, Judge! It would be the same as putting a pedophile to work in a day care center. Annie, crew for Rosie & Cinder |

Sure hope they put him to work scrubbing out empty cages. I certainly wouldn't trust him near any live animals. Especially after he has served his six months and is really ****ed. Something tells me most inmates are as unfriendly to animal abuse as they are to child abuse. Jo |
