Hamster killer suspect Monique Smith walks free as DA drops charges over 'inconsistent statements'
New York Daily News ^ | March 11, 2011 | Irving Dejohn AND Corky Siemaszko

The Brooklyn teen accused of killing her brother's hamster was sprung from jail Friday - and not a moment too soon.

Two days on Rikers Island made 19-year-old Monique Smith mad enough to commit hamster-cide.

"If I saw a hamster in this filthy place, I'd kill it," the furious teenager told The Daily News in a rambling jailhouse interview before she was released.

"I didn't kill that hamster, but I'd kill one right now because that's what I'm in here for - a b------t rodent."

Smith insisted her 25-year-old brother Aaron was trying to frame her murdering her younger brother's hamster, Sweetie.

"When I get out...when he sees me - its gonna be like he saw a ghost," she said.

When Smith was arrested Tuesday, she was charged with one count of felony animal cruelty, one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty - and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child for plucking it's whiskers out in front her younger siblings.

If it’s criminal cruelty to do what she was accused of doing, then shouldn’t they at least ban mouse traps?

Monique? Hmmm...

I will avoid making the usual Amish comment at this juncture.

I don’t know any word like that. It must be real bad.

Two years, huh?

I guess I had better not set a mousetrap if I ever go to NYC.

I wonder how many of her cellmates had killed their unborn babies. Of course, there is no jail time for that. /sarc

She’s only did what NYC has been doing to taxpayers for years.

I can’t think of the word either.

Blatant? Bivariant? BugSapient?

(I guess the first 4 letters must be “bull”)

When I first saw the headline of this story I thought it was kind of excessive to arrest a little kid-even if she was particularly cruel-then I realized the person arrested was nineteen years-old!

Creepy on so many levels.

What a moronic comment, you equate killing a freakin rodent with that of those who would blow up and kill human beings?

Go back to DU "nortex"

Plus she was accused, not convicted, and then set free as the case against her collapsed.

Freepers seriously need to wait for the trial. This gets embarassing.

Do the initials B.S. ring a bell? That would be my guess.

Confusing article. The caption on this photograph says: "The teen accused of killing a hamster during a family feud insists she didn't do it."

This is a strange looking photograph of a 19-year-old girl, if you ask me.
