CONVICTED: Was justice served?

Please vote on whether or not you feel the sentence in this case was appropriate for the crime. (Be sure to read the entire case and sentencing before voting.)

weak sentence = one star
strong sentence = 5 stars

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.

Case #13998 Rating: 3.2 out of 5



Thursday, Nov 1, 2007

County: Washington

Disposition: Convicted

Defendant/Suspect: Michael Naylor

A teenager with a history of animal abuse has been sentenced to two to five years in prison for taking two monkeys from a wildlife compound.

Nineteen-year-old Michael Naylor, of Rices Landing, Greene County, was sentenced yesterday for burglary and related charges in Washington County Court.

The monkeys, named Gwen and Mona, were taken in November from Wild World of Animals in Washington County. They were returned several hours later.

Police say Mr. Naylor and another teen apparently thought marijuana was being grown at the compound.

Mr. Naylor apologized, but Judge John DiSalle was unmoved. He said Mr. Naylor has a history of animal abuse and was charged with drunken driving and exploding pipe bombs in mailboxes while on bail in the monkey case.
