"Evaluation ordered for teen charged in Fla. cat killings" by Sarah Larimer, Associated Press | June 16, 2009
MIAMI - A teenager accused of killing and mutilating cats in two South Florida communities must undergo a psychiatric evaluation before he is released from jail, a judge ruled yesterday.
Why release him at all?
Tyler H. Weinman, 18, appeared at an afternoon bond hearing in a Miami-Dade County courtroom via videoconference, a day after he was charged with 19 counts each of animal cruelty and improperly disposing of an animal body and four counts of burglary related to the deaths.
Weinman wore a sleeveless blue vest reserved for prisoners on suicide watch and occasionally shifted back and forth, at times appearing disinterested in the courtroom proceedings. Judge Mindy Glazer ruled Weinman must also wear an electronic monitoring device if he is released on bond, which was set at $249,500.
"I'm concerned about his safety and the safety of the community," Glazer said after ordering the evaluation. Weinman is accused of the cat killings that terrorized residents of two south Miami-Dade County neighborhoods for about a month.
The teenager, whose divorced parents live in both communities, was arrested over the weekend at a party. Police believe he is behind the deaths of more than a dozen cats, whose mutilated bodies were discovered by their horrified owners or other residents.
"It's trial by ambush," said Weinman's attorney, David Macey. "It's anything goes so that they can have a body, a warm body, to solve these cat killings. My heart and my sympathy goes out to the owners of these pets, but unfortunately, it won't provide them any relief that Tyler's in custody. Tyler is innocent."
Well, we'll see, won't we?
--more--"
I wouldn't be surprised to see him get off; most Jewish kids do in our Zionist court system.
