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 "Peoples 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 isnt enough.

Case Updates: 2 update(s) available

In Amsterdam, N.Y., Nicholas Brodsky, 18, and Carly Furman, 16, face up to two years in jail and $5,000 fines if convicted in the mutilation and killing of three cats. The teens, jailed while awaiting trial, are among the first people charged under New York's so-called Buster's Law, which toughens punishment for animal cruelty and was named after a kitten burned to death in 1997.

Case Updates

Since Furman was a minor at the time of the crime, her case is sealed and the sentence will not be released to the public.

Carly N. Furman pleaded guilty to misdemeanor animal abuse. Late 2002, Brodsky was sentenced to two years in jail for felony animal cruelty. Now Furman faces a sentencing hearing in March 2003 before Judge Paul L. Wollman. Judge Wollman could sentence Furman to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also bar Furman from residing with animals.
