Wow, now that's what we refer to around here as a "Hanging Judge".
If he was going to do that to a dog then it's only a matter of time before it was another guys head that was going to get it, but 9 years on that assumtion only? He really must have ticked the judge off big time to get that sentance.

Too bad this judge wasn't on the Andrea Yates case.

Stab Dog (Crazy) = 9 years
Drown Children (Crazy) = Not guilty.
Hmmm. Makes sense to me /sarc
P.S. I like dogs and think they guy probably deserved this -- if nothing else it keeps a crazy guy off the streets for awhile.

Prediction: Someone will state that the judge was too lenient before this thread clicks over to post 51.

Wow, now that's what we refer to around here as a "Hanging Judge". Looks like the judge determined (by all accounts correctly) that this guy is a freakin' psychopath and wanted to keep him off the streets for as long as she could. We'll probably read about Mr. Garcia again in a few years.

. . . the judge ordered him removed from the courtroom for repeatedly screaming at the prosecutor. . . . There's the reason -- guy is obviously and totally out of control, and he doesn't confine his attentions to members of his own family (domestic altercations have traditionally resulted in more lenient sentences because of the emotional component). Also, even though the article doesn't mention it I bet he's got a string of prior offenses. Folks don't get like this all at once.

Yeah, a guy can't stab a dog anymore without some uppity judge getting his panties in an uproar over it.

Garcia did not hear his sentence because the judge ordered him removed from the courtroom for repeatedly screaming at the prosecutor. They should've stabbed him between the eyes to shut him up.
To: Abathar
You are exactly right on both counts. 2 years might have been more appropriate, but sill glad to him off the street for awhile.

...because he was upset by its barking. Ream pleaded with the judge to show no leniency, contending that Garcia showed no remorse. The woman aborted the baby because she was upset at the prospect of having a baby before she was ready to take care of it.
"Babies cry all the time," said the woman. "I just wasn't prepared to deal with it's whining and noise!"
The Judge showed understanding, contending that the woman does not need to show remorse over the killing of a human being before it is born.
"Children can be a problem when it comes to peace and quiet," the judge remarked.

It's well known that German shepherds, like SUVs, can direct their human charges to perform criminal acts. Maybe this guy deserves a medal for not listening to the voices.

If only that crazy Ohio judge Edward Connor would give a sentence like that to repeat child rapists. But no, Connor gives them a pass instead.

It does seem a bit extreme of a sentence - actually, I'm not sure why he got jail at all. Definitely some kind of punishment, but jail?
