Justice4Gage and Raising Awareness of Animal Cruelty and Abuse

July 25 Status Hearing

Gage´s family went to court today (July 25th) and talked to the DA. The actual trial starts on the 25th (picking a 6 member Jury) and Trial Date is August 26th. From what the DA told us the trial should be over on the 26th. After court today the DA brought up some concerns about the charge. Ray Stanfill was charged with "Felony Aggravated Animal Cruelty" but it appears that it may come down to the definition of maim and mutilate. He believes it may be hard to convince a six person jury that what Mr. Stanfill did to Gage would fall under the definition of "MAIM or MUTILATION".

I am so angered to hear this because Gage had a large hole blown in his chest by a shotgun that was positioned so close to Gage´s kneck that the wadding didn´t seperate and there were shotgun burns on Gage´s neck...How can ANYONE see this as a "misdemeanor"? Please everyone, keep this family in your prayers. I am also praying that the 6 person jury can see this for what it is...MURDER!!! For they will ultimately decide Gage´s Killer´s fate...

Hi Sherry,
