Woman who beat in-laws' dog to death sentenced to 5 years in prison

[Baitball Blogger]

Prosecutors said Williams beat the Labrador mix Ginger with an aluminum softball bat last year because she was upset about problems with her estranged husband and because Ginger had nipped her son eight months earlier.

Williams used a screwdriver to break into a locked bedroom at her in-laws' house near Longwood, where she was living temporarily, muzzled Ginger and covered her with a blanket before killing her in the backyard.

They locked Ginger in their bedroom July 5 because Williams had threatened to hurt the dog. The attack happened the next day while they were at work.

Williams said she dumped the body in a condo-complex garbage bin, but it was never recovered. The bin had been emptied by the time investigators arrived.

5. Oh my God. What a monster. Who could do something so cruel, so awful, so painful to a vulnerable

dog.

6. My how sad. They should have given her long time. Because I'm sure she'll get out for

good behavior unless she smarts off to one of the inmates. Of course they'll probably beat the hell out of her when they find out what she did. That is prison justice I think.
