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.

Dog attacked with axe
Portland, OR (US)

Incident Date: Tuesday, Aug 22, 2006
County: Clackamas

Charges: Misdemeanor
Disposition: Convicted

Defendant/Suspect: Corey James Kimble

Case Updates: 2 update(s) available

A pit bull puppy is recovering after being struck several times with an axe. A 35-year-old man, Corey Kimble (DOB 08-27-71), is now in jail and has been charged with Animal Abuse in the First Degree and Probation Violation - DUI.

Police were called to a home at 8417 S.E. Cornwell Street on August 22 after a witness reported seeing Kimble use an axe on a Pit Bull.

Kimble told police the animal was being aggressive toward him. The attack took place in a shed. According to the owner of the dog, Dozer is a non-aggressive animal and would "lick you to death".

The dog that was injured is 10-month-old Dozer. The dog somehow got away from his home a few blocks away.

Some of the wounds on Dozer's head were almost an inch and a half deep. His legs were also cut down to the bone and one cut was so deep that it broke his toe.

Dr. Denny Koontz, DVM, with Northwest Veterinary Specialists said Dozer was found wandering along Southeast 82nd Avenue.

"They had tried to take him to another hospital and they wouldn't accept him because he was injured and would probably be put to sleep," she said. "So they came here and the good Samaritan was actually willing to pay for some of his medical bills, even though they didn't have money to pay until later in the week."

No one knows how Dozer got out. The dog's owner said the gates in his yard were locked.

With Dozer's care costing up to $1,800, the dog's owner said he plans to sue Kimble.

There is also a chance that more people could be charged in the case because there is the possibility that another person may have held the dog down during the attack.

As for the good Samaritan, O'Donnell said he would like to know who that person is so he can give them a huge 'thank you.'
