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 #750 Rating: 4.0 out of 5
Dog neglect
Richmond, VA (US)Incident Date: Monday, May 27, 2002
County: Richmond City
Disposition: Convicted
Defendant/Suspect: Nancy Anette Pagel
Animal control was called to Pagel's residence at 3100 Klondike by a neighbor who was concerned that several of her dogs were running around loose in the front yard. When Animal Control arrived, they found 10-12 dogs and 4-5 cats living in squallor. Animal Control officer Donna Miskovic reported that there was urine and feces throughout the house.
According to Animal Control, Pagel was working with several animal rescue shelters, taking in and fostering dogs from multiple organizations.
Pagel was charged with misdemeanor cruelty to animals. Because Pagel had a history of alcoholism and manic depression, in agreement with the Nolle Prosequi outcome, Pagel, Pagel's attorney, and Pagel's psychiatrist agreed that Pagel would keep only 2 dogs, cease any further "rescue" involvement and would seek help for her alcohol and emotional problems.
