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.

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. | | Update posted on Mar 22, 2003 - 6:00PM |
| Carly N. Furman pleaded guilty to misdemeanor animal abuse. Late 2002, Brodsky was sentenced to two years in jail for felony animal cruelty.
