Big body & small brain, and it's not the cat I'm talking about!

Peyser just wants to get into his pants. Someone needs to get her a vibrator like the women on The View got. Have you seen her picture in the Post? Ewww.

There are some real animal lovers among the inmates this guy is going to be doing time with. Too bad his lawyer doesn't get to share the cell with him for putting up such a ridiculous defense. Hmmm... could you construe it as contempt for insulting the intelligence of the judge by putting up such an obviously untruthful defense?

Just out of curiosity, I looked him up on IMDb. Seven whole roles in his entire nine-year career. And unlike the impermanent nature of most websites and blogs, his crowning achievement with Norman is being immortalized there. The forum for him doesn't have a single complimentary post. Brilliant, Petcka. Blame the victim, all seven pounds of him.

This guy is so full of shit, it's not funny. I'm having flashbacks of the OJ Simpson trial. The first OJ Simpson trial. Damn stupid jury decided to let that guy off and now he's back on trial for armed robbery and kidnapping. It'll be just that kind of miscarriage of justice if Petcka gets off. The prosecutor should bring in other witnesses like Altobelli's friends, family, vet and anybody else who ever had contact with Norman, all to prove about how Norman has no history of violence. No cat continues to attack a large creature. They're not stupid. I doubt anyone can come up with a confirmed report of a sustained attack on a human by a cat. [9] There are varying degrees of pet ownership and it's rather obvious you're on the low end of the scale. You just have a pet, you don't truly care about it. This isn't anything resembling euthanasia. The very definition of euthanasia is ending life without inflicting pain. I can't believe you buy his BS about kicking it away. He probably started kicking Norman only after he had the little thing cornered. Kiss your aspirations goodbye, Petcka. Nobody's going to want to put a cat killer in their commercial, TV show, movie, etc. You were never more than a second-rate baseball player, third-rate actor and fourth-rate human being.

I bet there would be more outrage if it was a dog. there I said it. what kind of animal does this type of abuse to a cat? lacerated tongue, broken teeth, punctured lung.

#3 nailed it. Human on human crimes often don't get jail time. It's a cat. Go to the shelter and pick out one of dozens that will be euthanized in the near future. He didn't systematically torture it, fledgling serial killer style. He blew up and kicked it. I'm a pet owner myself, btw.

there are all sorts of crimes that don't involve directly harm people that people go to jail for...selling drugs comes to mind...if society can support sending someone away to jail for 15 years for selling something they shouldnt have any issue sending someone to jail for brutally killing an animal. Cruelty to animals is far more despicable.

The fact that "there are people who attack and injure-sometimes kill- other people who don't spend 2 years in jail" doesn't mean they shouldn't go to jail. Petcka in prison + buttrape = my tax dollars well spent.

According to what I've read about serial killers, many of them had a history of torturing and maiming domestic animals. I guess it becomes easier to do it to humans when you start up the ladder as an animal abuser.

# 3, he beat and tortured a small domestic animal to death. He deserves to go to prison for that. Anger management classes usually don't do much to help sadists. The guy's already shown violent tendencies toward humans too, and I'd rather have him behind bars than out on the streets where he could harm others.

I think I'd rather see this guy fined heavily than have him spend 2 years in jail. I mean, it's messed up what he did, but it's still a cat we're talking about. There are people who attack and injure-sometimes kill- other people who don't spend 2 years in jail. Considering the cost of incarceration to taxpayers, I'd rather see this guy do 90 days community service, attend anger management classes on his own dime, and pay a big fine.

His defense is preposterous! The cat was declawed for the love of god! If he can do that to a cat, he can potentially do that to a person, get him off the streets, pls.

If only someone would kick this guy with a metal-toed motorcycle boot. Preferably in the face.
