Wrote to State attorney on this care of an unrepentant woman putting the blame on everyone but herself. Her mug shot is defiant, not even sad.

Well if she paid someone to care for the dogs she should have documented proof of that and that person should be charged. But even if she did it was her responsibility to check on the dogs and ensure they were being cared for. Had she done that they would not have died!

Ahhh yes, the good old “blame-shift”. Spare me the sob story and own up to your miserable, cruel and pre-meditated actions. THESE 3 DOGS WERE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOU PATHETIC TURD.
if you take on the responsibility to care for 3 dogs then you agree to provide them a secure and safe environment
Every state needs tougher laws, rules and regulations! Misdemeanor? Really? Those 3 probably unconditional love. In return, she showed them hatred and death! Sick POS she is! Eye for an eye!
