Officer accused of killing dog opts for bench trial

BALTIMORE —After several delays, the trial for a Baltimore police officer accused of killing a dog started Monday.

Baltimore City police Agent Jeffery Bolger decided to go with a bench trial rather than a jury trial.

Prosecutors said Bolger slit a dog's throat in a fit of rage when arriving at the scene in June 2014. Bolger's attorneys insist he was only trying to put the dog out of its misery. The state is calling it murder.

"It's super frustrating to keep hearing disturbing accounts of what happened, so it's emotional," said Sarah Gossard, the owner of the dog, Nala, a shar-pei.

If the cop could throw a football, all would be forgiven.

The backstory is that putrid skank elected by the useless eaters called voters of Baltimore city as states attorney dropped the charges against the other officer involved. It did this the same day it was sworn in as SA. He happened to have the same lawyer Billy Murphy as Freddie Gray family. This is why Baltimore is a war zone. Punishment by God for the very immoral useless eaters of that city.
