Branford Eagle: "Judge Shopping Pays Off" For Dog Killer
The decision by New Haven Superior Court Judge Maureen Keegan means Alex Wullaert might serve no jail time.
The Branford Eagle says that Alex Wullaert, who killed his dog Desmond, then dumped him in a lake in Madison, CT, benefited from his lawyer's "judge shopping." In a story published Monday, the Branford Eagle reports:
"Attorney Richard P. Silverstein wanted accelerated rehabilitation (A/R) for his client Alex Wullaert, who confessed to starving, beating, torturing and strangling his dog Desmond to death in his Branford apartment in January 2012. That could mean no jail time.To get it he had to go judge shopping. Last week his shopping skills paid off."
