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.

Kevin Raymond Frasier, 29, of Watch Field Road in Charleston was sentenced to six months for killing the puppy and up to five years - suspended on service of one year behind bars and three years probation - for assaulting the dog's owner. The 3-month puppy was beaten and its skull fractured with a beer bottle while the dog was on a leash. The dog could not be saved and was put to sleep.

He was also given another one-year sentence for resisting arrrest. Charleston police stopped Frasier for driving under suspension on Sept 11, the day after the dog was beaten.
A 60-day sentence was given for the second-offense DUS. The four jail sentences will be served concurrently.
Frasier pleaded guilty to ill treatment of animals and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
