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.

Performing gynecological tests on pet dog
Lumberton, NC (US)Incident Date: Sunday, Nov 30, 2003
County: Robeson
Disposition: Convicted
Defendant/Suspect: Treza Ann Sweeney
A Robeson County woman was sentenced to 45 days in jail for animal cruelty after investigators determined she administered gynecological tests to her dog.
Treza Ann Sweeney, 47, of Lumberton, was charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty in December 2003 and pleaded no contest to the charge Tuesday, according to Katherine Floyd, an animal cruelty investigator for Robeson County.
Sweeney admitted giving pap smears to her Boston terrier, Floyd said.
Judge Greg Bell sentenced Sweeney to 45 days in jail with 20 days credit for time served after she was jailed for contempt of court and refusal to submit to a psychiatric evaluation, Floyd said.
The dog was found dead in Sweeney's home after she reported it stolen in December. Floyd said when she arrived at Sweeney's home, she found Sweeney trying to revive the dog by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The dog appeared to have been dead for a couple of days, Floyd said.
