Flake's son charged in dog deaths
Cross posting from GD:
This is the news those of us in the eastern fringes of the Phoenix metro area have been waiting for. Finally, indictments were handed down against 4 people responsible for the deaths of 23 dogs last June. One of those charged is the son of Senator Jeff Flake. The investigation has dragged on for 4 months and many were beginning to doubt it would ever come to this. Hall=-freaking-lujah!
"PHOENIX - Maricopa County court officials say four people have been charged with multiple felony and misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals in connection with the June deaths of 21 dogs and the injury of four others at a Gilbert dog boarding facility.
Court officials said Jesse Todd Hughes, Malesia Maurine Hughes, Austin Lane Flake and Logan Flake were indicted Wednesday afternoon.
On June 21, 2014, more than 20 dead and injured dogs were discovered at Green Acre Dog Boarding facility near Greenfield and Queen Creek Roads in Gilbert.
The dogs apparently died after the kennel's owners, Todd and Malesia Hughes said one of the dogs chewed through a wire connected to the air conditioning unit shutting it off and causing the dog's deaths."

But Tood and Malesia (a.k.a. Maliar by those sympathetic to the dogs) lied. There was no evidence of chewing. The room was poorly ventilated and the dogs died of suffocation.
