A belated followup: The 14-year-old girl who was sentenced to 18 months in juvenile jail on animal cruelty and burglary charges for killing a kitten by baking it in a 500-degree oven. While 17-year-old Cheyenne Cherry's name has been attached to the crime, apparently it was the 14-year-old who put kitten Tiger Lily in the oven and turned on the gas, according to the Daily News. For her part, Cherry pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated animal cruelty and criminal trespass (the pair were ransacking a former friend's Bronx apartment); according to a tipster, her July 31 sentencing was adjourned because the judge wanted to read her probation record—she's been arrested previously for holding up someone with a BB gun to steal someone dog and robbing someone's iPod at gunpoint. Cherry's next court date is September 2.
