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.
Case #15542 Rating: 2.7 out of 5
Puppy, guinea pigs killed
Gardnerville Ranchos, NV (US)Incident Date: Saturday, Jun 7, 2008
County: Douglas
Charges: Misdemeanor
Disposition: Convicted
Defendant/Suspect: Andrew Hamann
A 24-year-old Gardnerville Ranchos man was sentenced Wednesday [June 3, 2009] to 180 days suspended for one count of cruelty to animals.
Andrew Hamann was ordered to complete an inpatient drug and mental health treatment program and follow up with outpatient care.
East Fork Justice Jim EnEarl told Hamann he may not have animals or be around children without supervision.
EnEarl imposed a $632 fine and 96 hours of community service concurrent to the 30 days Hamann spent in jail.
He is awaiting a bed at Bristlecone Family Resources in Reno.
Hamann turned himself in to authorities April 23, admitting he killed a puppy a year ago and his girlfriend's guinea pigs over the past few months.
He reportedly told investigators killing the animals gave him an adrenaline rush and he was frightened by his behavior.
"Don't do anything to mess this up," EnEarl said. "You've got some issues but much of it came to light because of your seeking treatment."
Hamann also disclosed an addiction to dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant. References- Record Courier - June 5, 2009
