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.

Regarding David Ramsey's suspension. The AKC published the following in March 1998 in the GAZETTE, page 102:
David Ramsey (Warwick, RI) was suspended by the Board of Directors at its October 13, 1997 meeting after considering the Report and Findings of the Northeastern Trial Board, which on June 17, 1997 heard charges against him. He was charged with submitting, or causing to be submitted, a registration application which he knew, or should have known, contained a false or improper certification, and with failing to keep and maintain adequate records of ownership, breeding, transfers or litters produced, as required by Chapter 4, Registration and Discipline. The Trial Board sustained the charges and recommended a suspension of ten years and a $500 fine. The Board VOTED to adopt this recommendation, with the suspension to run consecutively to and to commence upon the completion of Mr. Ramsey's suspension imposed as a result of his plea in the State of Rhode Island District Court and the Board Descipline Review Committee recommended that Mr. Ramsey's appeal be denied. The Board VOTED to adopt this recommendation. References« RI State Animal Cruelty Map
