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: 1 update(s) available
A 33-year-old Eastpointe man will stand trial in Macomb Circuit Court on two counts of sodomy and one count animal abuse after police say he had sex with his brother's pit bull. Delbert Holliday is accused of assaulting the dog, named Sug, on Aug. 9 in his brother's garage. The dog was taken to a veterinarian, where a rape exam was performed. Police later arrested Holliday. He is being held in the Macomb County Jail on $50,000 bond. The dog survived, but its age is unknown.
Case UpdatesA man who sodomized a dog plans to appeal a ruling that he register as a sex offender after leaving prison.
Delbert John Holliday, 33, of Eastpointe, was sentenced to 3 1/2 to 15 years in prison Tuesday in Macomb County Circuit Court.
He had pleaded guilty to sodomy and animal torture for an August incident involving a pit bull at his brother's house.
Judge James Biernat ordered Holliday to register with the state's sex offender registry, though sodomy legally doesn't address cases where the victim is an animal, The Macomb Daily reported. | Source: Detroit Free Press - Dec 6, 2006
