During Custody Battle over their Dog an AL Lawyer Slits the Dog’s Throat, Takes Picture & Sends it to Wife with Threat ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

First, he did what he did (which in itself in inexcusable and merits both significant punishment and sending a serious message to the community as to the acceptability of such conduct).  Second, he lied about and tried to cover up the crime.  This f*cker repeatedly (as in multiple times) tried to pin the brutal killing on his wife forcing a five (5) month investigation which included exhuming the body and forensic testing which ultimately proved his factual guilt (after which he says that he wants people to know “how terribly contrite and sorry I am now {after rehab}”).  Third, Rufus is dead, as in forever gone (Memo to Rufus:  Not withstanding the brutal manner of your demise you are now on the Rainbow Bridge my furry little friend… sniff, pee, eta and play well with all of your new friends.)

Please do not misunderstand I both appreciate and applaud the job that John Wiley – the killer’s defense lawyer – has done o/b/o his client.  John is a more forgiving man than I, as I would never defend this case (being able to pick and choose is the one lone beauty of being in private criminal defense practice).  Still I am flabbergasted by the the almost inconceivable notion that this deranged sociopath could get probation for his heinous crime.  Above and beyond that, what really gets me going is that the prosecutors – who are “specially appointed – could / would see fit to agree to this.  Memo to Special Appointed Assistant St. Clair County District Attorneys Gwendolyn Connoly and Lamar Williamson:  You are both WEAK and PATHETIC.  If the Judge chose to do it over the government’s objection then at least I would have to applaud the State for trying, but here they are not even doing that, and I find this to be almost tantamount to “okaying” the crime. Memo to “Retired Clay County Circuit Court Judge John Rochester (who also was specially appointed to hear this case):  FOR SHAME.  You disgust me.  In Miami,  where I have been a criminal defense attorney for almost a quarter of a century folks get more significantly punished for jaywalking than you have pledged to deem fit  here, and that is just plain old DISGUSTING.  I hope that you kids or grandkids have a pet and that they call your lame ass out on this decision…  BOO!   Memo to the good Folks of Birmingham:  Wtf is going on in your jurisdiction?  Don’t you have your own prosecutors and Judges whom you can hold accountable through the election process?  Forget the fact that Rufus got screwed (even in death…); you, the folks, are also gonna get screwed by this farce. Please show up at the August 3rd sentencing and insist on being heard.  Tell the Court and the Government what you think.  Demand justice for Rufus!
