The prosecutor had asked for a year, the judge doubled the sentence
SANTA TERESA. He wounded his dog with a pruning hook and after killing him he put a rope around his neck and hanged him from a tree, where he was found by the agents of the Temple Forestry.
A terrible death for the poor dog, an American Staffordshire terrier, whose owner, Giuseppino Meloni, 76, resident in Santa Teresa, was sentenced yesterday.
Judge Maria Gavina Monni accepted the request for conviction of the prosecutor Gianmarco Vargiu, doubling the sentence, however. The prosecutor had asked for a year of imprisonment but the judge sentenced him to two years. (ts)
