CONVICTED: Was justice served?
more information on voting
When you vote, you are voting on whether or not the punishment fit the crime, NOT on the severity of the case itself. If you feel the sentence was very weak, you would vote 1 star. If you feel the sentence was very strong, you would vote 5 stars.
Please vote honestly and realistically. These ratings will be used a a tool for many future programs, including a "People’s Choice" of best and worst sentencing, DA and judge "report cards", and more. Try to resist the temptation to vote 1 star on every case, even if you feel that 100 years in prison isn’t enough.

The animal was transported for treatment by Jackson animal control officer Robin Staleyto, a veterinary, surgical and diagnostic specialist.
The dog, now called Anthony, has been turned over to an animal shelter is doing well, according to Sbano.
"Mr. Glock did state that the dog was having seizures and he was trying to put it out of its misery," Sbano told the Tri-Town News.
