Student Accused Of Killing Cat, Using Organs As Bait:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

LOGAN, Ohio — A prosecutor expressed frustration Thursday at not being able to file tougher charges against a college student accused in a heinous case of animal cruelty.

According to prosecutors, the student killed and mutilated a stranger's house cat, then used the animal's organs as fishing bait, 10TV's Glenn McEntyre reported.

Humane Society agent Saundra Harvey called it the worst case of animal abuse she has ever seen.

"He went to a home, went up on the porch, picked up a cat, took it to his pickup truck, threw it on the ground," Harvey said.  "The cat was meowing; he stomped its head, proceeded to disembowel it, took its liver and went fishing with it."

The accused, Bryan Able, 18, is a law enforcement student at Hocking College, McEntyre reported.

Investigators say after Able finished fishing, he drove to the college campus and put the cat's remains on the hood of another student's car.

Hocking County Prosecutor Laina Fetherolf said the toughest charge she can file against Able is misdemeanor animal cruelty.

"The second offense, were he to do something like this again, would be a felony," Fetherolf said.  "But where does that leave us this time? And why do we have to let it happen again for it to be a more serious charge?"

If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of six months in prison.

You would think that someone who is a law enforcement student would be smart enough to know that he may get into a small bit of trouble over this. Even though this is only a misdemeanor I hope that this is enough to keep him from actually getting a badge and a gun.

One point for killing the cat in such a violent fashion, another point for gutting the cat, one more point for using that cat's organ's as bait, one more point for driving around with the cat's carcass, another point for putting the cat's corpse on someone's car, another point for thinking that would be funny, one more point for the fact you can only be sent to jail for six months, and one last point for thinking that a psychopath like you would make a good cop. That's eight.

Coroner says 6 women whose bodies were found at home died violently:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

(CNN) -- Six women found dead at a Cleveland, Ohio, home appeared to have been strangled, and their decomposing bodies could have been lying there for "weeks, if not months or years," a coroner told CNN on Saturday.

Police discovered the bodies at the home of Anthony Sowell, a 50-year-old convicted rapist, after they tried to serve an arrest and search warrant for him related to a sexual assault investigation.

Five female victims were found inside the home, and another female body was discovered outside the home, said Cuyahoga County Coroner Frank Miller III.

About a month ago, a woman accused Sowell of rape and felonious assault, Stacho said Friday.

Officers serving the warrants Thursday discovered two badly decomposed bodies on the third floor of the house, Stacho said. A subsequent search revealed what appeared to be a freshly dug grave under the stairs in the basement, he said.

On Friday, investigators returned to the house, dug up the grave and found a third body, he said.

A further search of the house and property found two more bodies in a crawl space, and a sixth body was found in a shallow grave outside the home, Stacho said.

Five different burial methods were used on the victims, and the bodies were in varying states of decomposition, Miller said, making it difficult to determine the ages of the victims. He added that the states of the bodies made it hard to tell how long they had lain in the makeshift graves.

Stacho said Sowell makes his living as a "scrapper."

"He walks around and picks up scrap metal and takes it to junkyards to make a few pennies."

Sowell was convicted for a 1989 rape for which he was imprisoned from 1990 to 2005, Stacho said.

Straight to the points on this one.

One point for each of the bodies found in his house (6), another point for the woman he allegedly raped, one more point for not having a real job, four points for each of the burial sites within the property, and one last point for the fact that a dangerous predator like this scumbag was allowed out of jail. Again these predators need to be kept locked up for life. That's 13.
