Williams was sentenced to five years in prison for each charge. However the sentences will run concurrently. He has already spent a year in jail while waiting trial, and will not receive credit for that time served.
There is no doubt that Williams should have received a stiffer penalty for his heinous acts. Sadly, it is common for animal abusers to receive relatively light sentences.
Today's plea is the end of a sad story in which dozens of greyhounds suffered and died. Today, my thoughts are with those dogs.
These acts are so heartless. There is never a good reason for treatment of this nature. I am sure that greyhound rescue groups would have come forward and found homes for these dogs. That is what they do and they do a magnificent job at saving them!

ReplyDeleteIt's about time someone in the entire industry of abuse got something out of it! :) May he have a wonderful time of reflection, and hopefully this
will be a warning to those of this kind who do the
same thing without a conscience.
This blood sport must end....
