A La Habra man faces a 25-years-to-life term in state prison after he
was convicted Monday of cruelty to animals for cutting his dog's head
off after his girlfriend broke up with him.
James Andrew Abernathy, 42, claimed a German shepherd dog from an animal
shelter and named her "Marie" after the girlfriend, Deputy District
Attorney Heather Brown said Monday.
But after a loud fight with his girlfriend on Jan. 27, 2002, Abernathy
beat his dog with a metal golf driver, rammed a stake through the dog's
heart and cut off its head, she said.
Superior Court Judge Kaz Makino found Abernathy guilty after less than
two hours of testimony.
Two neighbors testified that a barefoot and disheveled Abernathy showed
up on their doorstep caked in dried blood and said, "I need help."
Normally, a conviction of cruelty to animals carries a maximum penalty
of three years in prison. But Abernathy could be sentenced to life
because he has been convicted twice on two counts of assault with a
deadly weapon in Los Angeles County in 1986
