Trial set to begin for Keisha Curtis in ‘Patrick the Dog’ case

[DainBramaged]

A trial is expected to begin today for the woman charged with animal cruelty in the "Patrick the Dog" case.

Kisha Curtis, 29, is accused of tying her pit bull Patrick to a railing in her Newark apartment before leaving the state in 2011. The emaciated dog was later found at the bottom of a trash chute.

Curtis has denied all the charges and rejected a plea offer.

Patrick has since made a full recovery. The case sparked a call for tougher laws against mistreatment of pets.

If she is found guilty I hope her days in jail are the worst of her life.

1. I have no words that are sufficient for this.

2. I wish "Burn in Hell Immediately"

Was a potential and likely sentence. Alas, in this disgusting human world she will MAYBE get a slap on the wrist.

I am fully in favor of vigilantism in cases like this. I'll not change that opinion. I think pet abuse stories have sutured my formerly bleeding liberal heart where humans are concerned.

3. I know just what you mean

about vigilantism in animal abuse cases.......and that is probably because laws protecting animals are so weak and penalties usually less harsh than getting a speeding ticket.

4. Exactly!!!!
