Wisconsin Woman Going to Trial for Torture of Dog
Thursday, November 1st, 2012 -- 8:23 AM
-A judge has ordered a trial for a Wisconsin woman accused of killing her boyfriend's dog.Sean Janas, 20, appeared in court Wednesday on charges of felony animal mistreatment and poisoning an animal, a misdemeanor.
Janas waived her right to a preliminary hearing. The judge then found there is enough evidence to send her to trial.
Prosecutors say Janas poisoned her boyfriend's dog, a German shepherd-Labrador mix named Mary, and tortured the animal before the dog died in June. She even kept a journal of her attacks on the dog, writing about the pleasure she felt when torturing the animal.
Protesters gathered outside the courthouse. Many carried signs and brought their dogs to show support for Mary.
Janas is scheduled to enter a plea in November. She remains in the Marathon County Jail.
