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 #18492 Rating: 2.8 out of 5
Two dogs die tethered in heat

A New Orleans man pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of animal cruelty and was sentenced to three days in jail.

Judge Desiree Charbonnet sentenced Joesph to the jail term and imposed a $500 fine. An additional 160 day sentence was suspended, and Charbonnet barred Joseph from having a pet while he lived in Orleans Parish.
