Update on David Almquist case

Disappointing results. 87 days jail time, which he already served.

The only mention of the cat victim was when the judge pondered out loud how many lives the abused cat has left.

Judge asked the abuser's wife if she would like her husband home. The wife said yes and made negative points about the victim of the domestic violence charge - a teenaged girl (who is a secured victim and was not in the courtroom) family member.

The judge mentioned paying restitution to the County for the care of the cat that Almquist injured. The prosecutor said Almquist didn't have to pay anything. Guess our tax money takes care of those things!
