CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STRASSBURGER, J.: FILED JUNE 12, 2015
I join the majority memorandum.
I write separately to add that were I to reach the merits, I would
affirm. This was no ordinary cruelty to animals case, if there is such a thing.
Here, the poor dog died a lonely, slow, and painful death by starvation.
Sentencing above the guidelines was not an abuse of discretion.
Judge Wecht joins the concurring statement.
*Retired Senior Judge assigned to the Superior Court.
