Case Updates and News Tidbits

I'm moving these posts from Friday to Monday. This way I can write up my week's worth of posts in advance, set them to auto, and don't have to worry about all this being old news if it's still posting on Friday.

Keum H. Lee - Court date is three days away! On Wednesday. Found this story dated 9/10.

"For a practicing physician, one usual consequence of a felony conviction, or even a misdemeanor conviction, is the suspension of their license to practice medicine. The State Board of Professional Medical Conduct will, upon conviction, review the case and make a judgment as to whether the physician will lose the license to practice or not, and if the license is revoked, whether this action will be permanent or temporary
Revoke it permanently. Why would anyone want to have a doctor that's been charged for starving two horses, one of which had a halter embedded into her head?

Ernie Paragallo - Well this isn't much of an update, but...a horse was stolen from the same farm that was raided in April. Story I'd try investigating the brother first. Common sense says "do not leave questionable man alone with horse." Why there are even still horses there is beyond me...

Mary Peterson - the newest addition to my case list. This one makes me want to bang my head against the desk. I'll tell you about it Wednesday.

Now let's see what's in the news this week...

Story Three thieves went into a pasture in broad daylight and stole five horses while the next door neighbor watched.

This is why you should at least know what your neighbors look like.
You can't ride her, so why else would they take them?"
I really don't think Mexico cares if they're 23-year-old pleasure horses. Harsh I know, but true.

"They've been stalking the place for at least two months," she said of the thieves. Neighbors had seen two men and a woman ride into the pasture on Saturday and release two "skinny horses," Swint said. They returned Monday to retrieve those two and five more.

I don't really get this part. They released two horses into the pasture, left them for two days, and then came back and took those two and the other five? And the neighbors didn't find this strange? What about the owners of the five horses? They didn't notice that they had two extra horses? I know that's kind of a common thing nowadays with the economy so bad, but still.

I'm still trying to figure out why the neighbors would just stand there and watch this. I'd like to know where the owners are during this whole thing too and why it took the cops so long to get there.

Story (I did not watch the video, but there aren't any pictures on the link unless you count the one on the front of the video. It's not graphic, but you know what it is.) I think the count is up to twenty now.

With no suspect yet arrested, the motive for the killings has not been confirmed

Honestly, there's only really one possibility.

"The horse community is getting edgy and very upset," Gustinger told ABC News. "We've started community watches, people are patrolling their yards with guns to the point where some of the horse owners are looking forward to it. They're starting to hunt these people... they want it stopped," she added.

I can't even think of a punishment bad enough for these monsters...

Story And a man that deserves worse received a six-month jail sentence and is not allowed to own animals for seven years after starving a wide variety of animals, including a horse named Missy that later had to be euthanized because of her condition. Wait a minute, Missy was found in December 2007. It took them a year and a half to sentence this guy?! 11 counts of animal cruelty and he only got six months...There is no justice.
