All or Nothing Tattoo and Art Studio - pit bull shot and killed in his backyard

They've reopened the petition, now they are being sued by the murderer, haven't they endured enough??? Here's the update: Date: May 30, 2008 1:26 AM..Update on Gage's Case..<center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lmp1c3RpY2Vmb3JnYWdlLmNvbQ=="><img src="http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n13/krissacole/gagebanneranimated2.gif"></a> send a donation to donations@justiceforgage.com <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBheXBhbC5jb20="><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" border="0"></a></center>Update: <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm15c3BhY2UuY29tL3NoYW5hc2Nvb2xzcG FjZQ=="> Shana</a>, Britt, and family went to court yesterday, The neighbor was charged with Felony Aggravated Animal Cruelty, and the neighbor plead 'not guilty,' of course. They will be going back to court in July 25th for the Status Hearing. They have run into a few snags with the case: 1. Due to conflicts of interest, neither the DA nor the Burke's civil suit lawyer can represent the family. Can you believe that? -The Case was assigned a new DA. The DA apparently was involved in another case with the alleged dog-murdering neighbor sometime in the past. Wander what that was about? - The lawyer covering their civil suit had to step down because he is involved with their neighbor's home-owner insurance company. Now, the criminal-neighbor has decided to file suit against his home insurance company (b/c they refused to pay for the lawsuit brought against him for killing Gage), causing a conflict of interest for the lawyer's representation of the case.(The insurance company's reasoning for not paying is that the actions were criminal, by the way). 2.To top all of that off, the neighbor has decided to sue the Burke family for defamation of character. Because everyone everywhere knows what has happened, it seems that 'Mister-Neighbor-Dog-Killer-Guy' is not very popular. Since he shot Gage, his 'comfort and quality of living' is not so nice now. -I'd like to respond to that by saying that this man brought this on himself. This man shot a dog who was in his own fenced-in back yard. This man made a conscious decision to take another life - a life that was gentle and loving... a life that was cherished and well-cared for. 3.The only appropriate lawyer that the Burkes have found to now take their case requires payment up front. Shana and Britt are not prepared for those fees. <center>* * * * * * * * * * *</center> How are we going to fight and make sure that justice is served? 1. You all signed the petition that Sherry Wells designed, which was a huge help. 2. I have opened a paypal account so that everyone can make donations toward these lawyer fees. Whether it is 50 cents or 50 dollars donated by a person, it all counts - every small amount adds up, so spread the word! So far, people have donated $180 toward the Burke's lawyer fees. Once I have the donation site properly promoted, I'm sure that we will be able to come up with the full amount. <center>send a donation to donations@justiceforgage.com <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBheXBhbC5jb20="><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" border="0"></a></center> I know how difficult it is to spare anything with gas prices and the cost of living, so if you'd like to help out but can't afford to donate, you could do so by spreading the word.
