HELP NEEDED for dog bludgeoned by man

Here's the press release:
Man hired to kill dog and uses hammer/axe is offered 90 days in county jail

Freddie Mock admitted to accepting $25.00 to euthanize a Manito woman's dog. He took the dog to a wooded area and used a hammer/axe to bludgeon the dog in the head, then left it for dead.

Freddie Mock was charged with 510 ILCS 70/3.02 Aggravated Cruelty. A person convicted of violating Section 3.02 is guilty of a Class 4 felony and can be sentenced to 1-3 years and fined up to $25,000..

The plea offer:
90 days in county jail (he will probably only serve 45 days)
2 years probation
Will not be allowed to own companion animals

States attorney Kristin Miller would not confirm if this was pleaded to a misdeamenaor. Kristin Miller also believes that 90 days is sufficent punishment and that the community would support that, she also believes that many people will think that is too much time.

If you are outraged like I am, this is what you can do

Call Kristin Miller at 309-543-4212

Write letter to Kristin Miller at
Mason County States Attorney Office
201 S Orange St
Havana, IL 62644

Write letter to Judge Brownfield asking him not to accept the States Attorney plea offer and ask for a sentence of 1-3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Honorable Judge Brownfield
Mason County Courthouse
125 N Plum St
Havana, IL 62644


Please help us get justice for this dog!

Dear Jess, i Have been watching to see what would happen to this horrible excuse for a human being. I can't believe such a minimal sentence would even be an option. Its a shame they aren't taking this seriously. I wrote my letters and sent them and am still hoping they will wake up and think about how horrific an act this was and what this man is capable of if he can do this to a dog. I don't think he even feels he did anything wrong so there is no sense of guilt or remorse, what a shame.

WE need much stiffer penalties on the type of abuse or any abuse of an animal. I as so tired of seeing people get off with a slap on the wrist. we need some jail time , it is the only way to change this. There have to be consequences for abusing animals.
