Jury Takes 4 Minutes to Convict a Woman in Dog Cruelty Case
A Houston judge has sentenced a 45-year-old woman to six months in jail after a jury took just four minutes to find her guilty of cruelty and the neglect of the two adult dogs who were in her care. A veterinarian who testified said neither had enough water, food or medical attention.
According to a Tuesday announcement by Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg and Precinct 5 Constable Ted Heap, the dogs were "emaciated, infested with parasites, and suffering from severe skin infections."
Stephanie Renee Dunn, 45, was sentenced shortly after the jury verdict to 180 days in jail on the two charges of Cruelty to Non-Livestock Animals. The adult dogs had to be euthanized because of their poor condition.
