Why do we even have laws when you can get off so easily ... Skakel and Reimann ... murderers/wannabes.

And now, they will have to add "protruding arrow" to that old joke:

LOST: Cat with 3 legs, blind in left eye, missing right ear, tail broken and recently castrated. Answers to the name "Lucky, Jr".

[Palmetto]

In all seriousness, this sounds bad.

If it was a problem cat, fine - but try to work it out with the neighbor and animal control. If to no avail, I don't have a problem with taking the cat out - but do the job properly.

Get off Easily ? Shooting Cats with arrows...? Hey I like to nail a little kitty myself now and then..lol ; )

I have had to "euthenize" a number cats in my life, but I have never done it with a bow and arrow. And yes, I used a 12 gauge shot gun.

I note that he's been convicted of a crime, though. So the owners need to take the next step and sue him. Since the burden of proof for a civil tort is less than that for a criminal conviction, a summary judgement might well be possible. Let's see now...

Regular damages (the vet bills plus time and expenses to travel to and from the vet), emotional distress, punitive damages, exemplary damages, plus court costs and reasonable attorney fees...

Assure the dear boy that it is merely a formality. Then get a writ of execution and garnish his bank account one day after he gets paid...so that the checks he wrote to pay bills all bounce....

Then get another writ and go into his house to videotape his personal property...

Oh, yes, the civil justice system can be quite effective...

What kind of a wimpy bow was he using?
