History

May 13, 2008 - Rancho Cucamonga, CA (US)
Convicted: Cats tortured, set on fire

Sentence: Timothy Arie Kooyman, 26, received the maximum penalty for three counts of animal cruelty after animal welfare advocates apparently impressed the judge with the magnitude of his crimes.

"That is a significant sentence for someone who has been in state prison for the first time," said Riverside Superior Court Judge John Davis.

Davis added the 32 months to a five-year sentence Kooyman was already serving for a previous animal cruelty conviction.

The defendant was sentenced in May 2009 to five years in prison for arson and animal cruelty in a case in San Bernardino County. With good time credit, he was expected to be released next month.

The new sentence will keep him behind bars for at least two more years. It also gives him two strikes, meaning that if he is arrested for a third felony, he could be sentenced to 25 years to life behind bars.
