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.

Philadelphia Eagles safety Damon Moore was fined Tuesday night and ordered to pay restitution for abandoning a dog at a soccer field near his New Jersey home earlier this month.
Moore appeared in court to plead guilty to a civil charge of animal cruelty for leaving his pet Rotweiler puppy at the Voorhees field. For the plea, Moore received a $2,000 fine, must serve 15 days of community service, and was ordered to pay restitution to the animal shelter that took care of the dog before it was adopted.
Moore is also banned from owning a pet for five years.
"I made a very bad judgment," Moore said after the sentencing. "I was stupid, on the choice of my behalf. I'm not a harmful person. Like I said, I made a very bad judgment and I learned from it."
Municipal Court Judge John Norelli reprimanded Moore, calling his actions "stupid."
