Hall claimed he shot their dog for killing his only male coon dog, but Hall refused to dig up his dog's body for a necropsy that would determing if T-Bone had really killed his dog.

Hall's criminal record includes traffic offenses, one conviction each of killing a deer out of season and hunting wth a license. The Commonwealth's Attorney Cliff Hapgood said, "He does what he wants to do with animals when he wants."

Judge Alexander said Hall did not show any remorse about his actions and there was no excuse for shooting the Fulcher's dog.
