Tammy Grimes Sentenced For Being Humane!!!!!
2/22/08. Today Grimes was sentenced to 300 hours community service for
a ‘people organization’, because ‘people are dogs too’. She was also
ordered to pay for the cost of the trial. This was justified by the
judge because she said that Grimes chose to go to trial over ARD,
therefore she should have to pay for it. Isn’t it every person’s right
to go to trial? Does that right come with a price tag? Interestingly
enough, according to Grimes’ attorneys, this is not only NOT OFTEN
done, but RARELY done. The costs were around $1700.
She was also ordered within 10 days to take everything Doogie related
off any any site she ‘has control or influence over’.
We will be appealing most if not all of the sentencing asap.
The absolute worst part of it all was the way she was treated by both
the DA and the judge. The saddest thing is that they actually seem to
BELIEVE the horrible things they said about her. They seem to actually
BELIEVE that the taking of Doogie was a publicity stunt by Grimes, so
that she could be a ‘hero’. That the Arnolds are ‘victims’ of her lies,
and that ‘the dog was just old’.
The DA said he was shocked this was her first offense, because her
disrespect for the law and it’s officials is like his worst hardened
criminals. He also said that everything on the DDB site is a lie,
twisted by Grimes to make people believe her. He was seriously ticked
off that the Arnolds received Valentines and a brochure attempting to
educate them this Valentine’s Day. Yet, at trial he insisted DDB should
try to educate them, so which is it? Do you want them educated or not?
She is now again not to have any contact with ‘the victims’.
The judge said that Grimes was no Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King, Jr.
That she has disgraced herself and her cause, as well as her supporters
by her actions. That two wrongs don’t make a right. (If she’s admitting
there were ‘two wrongs’, then why are the Arnolds still not being
convicted of abuse?)
We are saddened by the state of affairs in Blair County, Pennsylvania.
Saddened by the people ‘in control’, and saddened by the beliefs they
put out into the world.
Pictures and video do not lie. If it were a he said/she said situation,
we could understand how they would believe the Arnolds when they say
the dog was just old. But with the abundance of evidence of neglect,
there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for the behavior of both DA Richard
Consiglio and Judge Elizabeth Doyle. Pictures and video DO NOT LIE.
