Will 90-year-old California woman serve jail time for beating dog to death?

Voided

No news can yet be found pertaining to the market and it seems to have dropped off the radar. Due to this we won't be able to settle the market objectively and therefore it will need to be voided.

BELLFLOWER - The arraignment of a 91-year-old Norwalk woman accused of killing her son's miniature pinscher with a shovel was continued next month.

Beatrice Godinez Castillo was scheduled for an arraignment today at Bellflower Superior Court but the hearing was continued to Oct. 28.

The District Attorney's Office earlier charged Castillo with one felony count of cruelty to an animal. Her arraignment has been continued before.

The charge stems from an April 14 incident in the 12000 block of Bayla Street in Norwalk. Responding to a call, an officer with the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority found Castillo with blood on her hands, pants and shoes.

The dog wasn't at the scene but was later brought in to SEAACA by Castillo's son. It suffered severe injuries to its jaw, teeth and hind leg."

There's still no indication that she's been in custody as of yet.

Market will settle based on info coming out regarding the arraignment hearing on the 28th.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source, or www.sgvtribune.com

Jail time means she serves any time in custody either before, during or after legal proceedings.

The woman is undergoing 'psychiatric treatment' at the moment, but apparently not by court order. Arraignment date is supposed to be May 27; so far she remains not in custody.

I'm going to flag this question for CatEd, because when I first created it I left it open, with no suspend date, thinking the case would resolve in a few months at worst. It obviously hasn't, and I'm thinking now that if possible maybe a suspend date should be put on this, obviously set to sometime after the above-mentioned Oct. 28 arraignment date. Then if options 1 or 2 don't occur by that date, it would settle as option 3. Anyone has thoughts on that, please bring them up.

If it was a Min Pin, it will probably be called,justifiable dog murder.
