Throw the book at him!!!!!!!!! Someone that commits a heinous crime like this deserves the stiffest sentence possible.

Throw the book at him?! Can we just drop a large block of cement on his head from height and call it a day?

Jeff Dahmer abused and killed animals before he moved onto other things. I hope this kid gets help while he sits in jail for a long time.
I would like to know what gave him the idea to do this.

Derek,
I can't say if this ultimately turned out to be the case, but I was told earlier on in the investigation that the killing may have been revenge for an alleged mugging.

This guy was mugged by a puppy? Something doesn't make sense.
Jul 13, 2012, 6:19:00 AM
6:19,
I'm sure you were kidding, but I meant the suspect believed the puppy's owner had mugged him.

I really hope they don't give him some BS slap on the wrist. It really doesn't matter what the motive was; anyone who can do something like this is a sick, sick person and is a danger to anyone and everyone. He needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (which, frankly, I don't think is harsh enough when it comes to animal abuse).
Jul 13, 2012, 8:09:00 AM
Please, please, please keep up on this case. Assuming he's guilty, I'd like to know that this POS gets an appropriate sentence.
