Why Mia's Killer Won't Be Punished

That's right. In all probability, the man who killed a Central Heights service dog won't be punished. When we told E.J. they were coming for him, we didn't know just how incompetent "they" were. If it should make you feel any better in the midst of feeling worse, E.J. has reportedly killed 14 dogs in two years, so we're pretty sure there will be more chances to nab the doggie destroyer.

Why won't E.J. suffer the consequences for his actions in this case? Oh, yes, a private citizen paid for a necropsy on Mia. The animal autopsy proved that the dog didn't die as E.J. had related to a Lauderdale County sheriff's deputy. Isn't that enough for an arrest for felony animal cruelty?

It would have been, but... The deputy who retrieved Mia's body did so without a warrant...while trespassing. Fourth amendment and all that. The district attorney knew that there was no case after the deputy's actions.

No, we're not going to name the deputy. We have heard that he will be given more training in proper investigative procedures. Did we say "more?" From what we've learned, this deputy doesn't even know how to return a citizen's phone call. He doesn't know what questions to ask. He doesn't know...period.

So there you have the latest status in Mia's case. We will add one final caveat. If you live near E.J. and have children, keep them away from him. Anyone who can kill 14 dogs in two years probably wouldn't mind throwing the stray rug rat into the mix.

And Please Keep Me & My Family Safe From That Ol' Debil E.J.
