Citing threats to witnesses and drug accusations, judge revokes bail for suspect

Key witnesses who identified the dog owner suspected of taping Caitlyn’s mouth shut this spring grew so concerned about threats they were getting that they left South Carolina, a Charleston prosecutor said Friday.

The development in the abuse case that had animal lovers worldwide rooting for the pup’s recovery came during a downtown hearing to revoke a previous bail arrangement for the suspect, 41-year-old William Leonard Dodson of Quitman Street in North Charleston.

Dodson has been behind bars since his June 1 arrest on a felony charge of ill-treating animals. But when he was jailed in Caitlyn’s injuries, Dodson had been free on $110,000 bail on drug and weapons charges stemming from a March arrest.

Maybe his mouth should be permanently taped shut, or better yet, give the scum bag the death penalty and keep him on death row for 30 yrs.

I feel terrible for this dog to have to go through such abuse. Not so bad for the aforementioned Jenner.

I am still waiting to see his face get taped up the same way he did that defenseless dog.

That's black culture for you. Key witnesses getting threatened.
This is what causes racism which really isn't racism at all but the reason why blacks are looked upon as second class citizens. Imbeciles worried about a flag and other nonsense when witnesses to a crime are being threatened.
There is no hope for blacks until they wise up.

I firmly agree with you. But it shouldn't stop with animal abuse, either.
It wouldn't be a pretty thing if I were ever in a position of doling out sentences unbridled. In fact most of you folks would end up losing your lunch or dinner in your lap. But, I can GD guarantee you one thing., crime would be doing a flippin' nosedive.
And, before you bleeding hearts start in with your rhetoric, yes, I know it'll never happen, that's why crime won't decrease, either.
