A cat killer gets a four-month sentence:
The arrangement also spared Wrigley's now ex-girlfriend, Sara Sabol, 27, from having to appear on the witness stand -- an experience the hairdresser said she'd rather avoid.
"I lost my cat, my boyfriend and my apartment," Sabol said in a telephone interview. "I can move on, and grieve for my Maddeline."
Wrigley also agreed to pay $1,800 in veterinary fees for Jynx, who had broken ribs and punctured lungs. Sabol said Jynx is "doing good. He's healing."
Wrigley should have received the full prison sentence.

If parents who homeschool think they are so much better than credential teachers, then they need to do what is necessary to give their kids a decent education.
