SENTENCE: Judge fails duty

Shame on Judge Valin for letting Jesse L. Jones off with no consequences for his deplorable behavior and mistreatment of that poor dog he brutally attacked.

He received no charges of animal abuse or any charges and was let go scot free for his abuse.

He isn’t sorry, only that he was caught and heaven knows how many times he has done so in the past and may do again.

This is inexcusable behavior no matter what excuse he used. He should receive some punishment for his actions.

Shame on the court, the judge and the legal system for allowing this behavior to go unpunished.
