%newline%(Carroll County, VA) Charged with 14 counts of animal cruelty and 25 counts of animal neglect, "Junior" Horton stood trial and was convicted on May 16, 2008. In a shockingly disappointing sentence served by Judge Edward Turner in General District Court, an entire 12-year jail term was suspended as well as a portion of applicable fines. Rather than prohibiting the defendant from repeating the abuse and neglect he had just been convicted of by prohibiting him from having future contact with animals for a significant period of time, Judge Turner reportedly chose to enable Horton to continue breeding dogs, allowing him to possess up to 250 dogs at a time.
