New Jersey Woman Spared Prison in Dog-in-Trash Chute Case | TIME.com

(NEWARK, N.J.) — A woman who admitted abandoning a dog found at the bottom of a trash chute in a case that became a cause celebre and led to tougher animal cruelty laws was sentenced to probation Thursday by a judge who urged the dog’s supporters to “put things in perspective.”



The Essex County prosecutor’s office had sought to have Kisha Curtis given the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison after she pleaded guilty to fourth-degree animal cruelty last month just before her trial was to begin. She got 18 months of probation instead.
