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 #172 Rating: 3.0 out of 5
Horse neglect
Rye, NH (US)Incident Date: Tuesday, Aug 31, 1999
County: Rockingham
Disposition: Convicted
Defendant/Suspect: Sheila Burns Kinville
Case Updates: 1 update(s) available
Sheila Kinville has been charged with mistreating five horses. She is accused of not feeding the horses enough, not trimming their hooves, not giving them proper exercise and keeping them in dirty stalls.
SPCA agent Peter Saunders said the agency is not recommending fines. He said they want to continue a program of probation for Kinville and rehabilitation for the horses.
Saunders said neglecting the hooves was especially serious because it can lead to inflammation and permanent crippling. In this case, he said, its unlikely any of the horses suffered permanent injury.
