BIG NEWS ABOUT Me & SHEBA!!!

While I was doing some work on my plants this am my husband called-no yelled for me. I thought one of the cats threw up or did something bad but no
he handed my a portion of the local newspaper. In there was an article about the initial court appearance for my neighbor on Dec 30th for shooting Sheba.
You can read the whole article at www.postcrescent.com for the Appleton Post Crescent under more headlines Man, 59 shoots feline etc.....
I tell you this came out of the blue!!!
I figured I should be hearing something soon but not to read it first in the newspaper. In today's mail I received a package of info from the DA's office.
So I asking if ANYONE has gone through this please pm me so I can get some guidence. I'll email the animal group in Madison for assistance also.
All I can say is WOW
This afternoon I went to Sheba's grave and talked.
I'm am worried however that the paper put in my name & address but I'll deal with that.
So it begins, wish me luck!!

Such great news, Gail. I know how much this means to you and in the justice for your beloved girl. I have been hoping something good would come of it. Feline spirits will prevail, I just know it. Did you get any feeling after you spoke with Sheba about it? I am so happy for you. There must be a kitty god over Green Bay.

Progress! Excellent! I have no advice for you Gail, but I'm sure pulling for you.

I left a post at the end where it asked if you wanted to.

I hope he gets what he deserves!

I'm rooting for you!

I am happy that you are getting your justice, but on that site i dont see your article?

Oh My God What The &%^$ Did He Do?
I Wouild Have Got His Own Gun And Shot Him In The Head!!!!!!!!

When this site crashed so did all my postings on the incident. This man considered his 5 acres his little fiefdom and does what he wants to on it. Until the case is settled I don't want to say more. Living out the a semi-rural area its not like his house is 20 ft away-its probably 300-400 ft or more and there are trees blocking the view from our house.
I was surprised to read what the maximum sentence is!!

Gail good luck, and I applaud your caution about not speaking about this further. Please fill us all in AFTER the court case is over, and hopefully the sentence rendered will be a stiff one-

I put you in SOS

Wow. He's a sick sick man to do that to a poor cat. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Honestly, that is just so gross -- what the heck are kitty-cats doing to his stupid property that he would need to make target practice out of them? I hope he gets the maximum sentence.

We're rooting for you Gail.

Hope you and Sheba get some justice.

I'm sorry I don't have any advice or anything but, like the others, I'm glad Sheba will be getting some justice!

P.S. Gail, if they print your name and address you can get an injunction very quickly to stop it. By law they need to tell you that before printing. They cannot keep it as secret of the press, so to speak. PM me if you need help AT ALL. I will also come out there with my bows and arrows. I abhor violence, I abhor it, but I am not scared of anything. Your friend always,
Elizabeth

Gail thats brilliant news!.

3 1/2 years he might get!, well i hope he does and i hope it's the longest 3 1/2 years he's ever known!!.

The thing is he's admitted doing it and now everyone knows who HE is and where HE lives because his card would be marked with me after what he's done

I second the advice about ensuring your address is kept secret. I got into the papers once concerning some women's rights work I was doing that involved a court case, and I had a load of hate mail and scary phone calls. Do anything you can to suppress personal information.

I'm glad this is finally going to trial, Gail. This person could never receive adequate punishment for what he has done, but I hope he receives the most severe penalty possible. I, too, look forward to your update once the trial is complete.

what wonderful news that this is going to court!! I remember when this happened to Sheba - I am so glad that you are getting a chance for justice for Sheba thats the minimum that she deserves
how wonderful that you went and spoke to her after you read this article - hopefully this news will not only comfort you but comfort her

I agree with getting your name out of the paper - and please let us know how it goes after the court case - we will all be thinking of you and hoping for a quick hearing and a long sentence

Gail, got your PM - we are having a huge windstorm here, it's very bad. Our power is flickering and no time to respond. Winds are very high here, ~ 50 mph and we have limbs falling. I have to go - will write when we are more sane around here. HUG. BYE!!-E.

Hoping you both get some justice. He's a sick man.
