The Long Island 'Pet Cemetery' Defendant Is One Sick Puppy!
I know you have heard by now about the Long Island woman who tortured 42 animals & then buried them in her yard.Branded the "pet cemetery" defendant,Sharon McDonough will probably come to mind whenever someone even mentions animal cruelty.
You know,with all of the anger & outrage that was displayed in the media towards Michael Vick,it's surprising to me that I could only find two videos on this sadistic,evil murderer.It was from The Associated Press & My Fox NY.This woman is suspected of not only killing 42 animals,but she allegedly abused her kids as well!
Her own son even said that it was "a concentration camp for the animals." Why haven't we heard more about this sick puppy in the media? I guess since Michael Vick was a celebrity it was much more scintillating to talk about his case.
Here's more from ABC News:
"A judge ordered a New York woman held on $100,000 bail Friday after prosecutors cited evidence that some of the 42 dead animals buried in her yard had been tortured, with duct tape around their mouths or signs that they had drowned.
Sharon McDonough, 43, had been free without bail after her November arrest on misdemeanor charges, but she was taken away in handcuffs after her appearance Friday in Suffolk County Court in Central Islip.
McDonough faces "the likelihood of a felony indictment," said John Cortes, assistant district attorney. Authorities initially found 20 dogs buried behind her Selden home in early November; a subsequent search Dec. 8 uncovered another 22 dead animals.
Necropsies found evidence the animals had been abused, Cortes said.
"There are indications this defendant did kill these animals," District Judge Paul Hensley said in setting bail. "I believe the impulse to flee will become irresistible."
Defense attorney James D'Angelo said his client is not guilty and was shocked by the judge's ruling, and indicated she is unlikely to be able to post bail.
"I don't feel there was a significant change in circumstances," D'Angelo said. "She's made each and every court appearance. She's presumed to be innocent. I am very disappointed with the judge's decision today." (END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
