why are they worried about the animal cruelty charges?? Aren't two cases of raping little girls much worse than raping a dog??
I mean, the dog was bad, but no mention of the trauma the little girls suffered.
He will prolly get more time for the animal charges than for raping the little girls.
If I wrote the story (and I write for a newspaper), I would have done the same.
The latest offense naturally gets the most attention, even if the previous one is worse.
The other two attacks occurred last year.
If we got hit by Bin Laden again tomorrow, but he hit only one target and only 50 died, it would get the most attention of the stories, but I guarantee you they would have a footnote to round out and close the story in a balanced way, a "tag," describing the Sept. 11 attacks. But, it would only be the concluding paragraph, not more than that despite being worse.
The two attacks on the girls occurred last year. The dog is most recent. Therefore, it gets the most attention. I am sure they did long stories on the girls at the time that happened (if not, some people need to be fired).
