The jurors in the Joseph Petcka cat killing case are hung! No not like that you pervert. One juror believed that the 205-pound man really did kill his girlfriend’s declawed cat in self-defense, causing the judge to declare it a mistrial. The NY Post reports that an exhausted-looking juror No. 11, Shamsul Islam spilled the beans on the 11-to-1 vote and juror No. 3, Douglas Collman says “The whole room was shouting,” because no one else thought it was self-defense, it was “bull shit”, were his last words.
A hung jury means that Petcka “must be retried on charges he kicked little Norman to death last year in a jealous, drunken rage.” The holdout juror believes that Petcka had no ill will toward the cat who Petcka claims “lunged,” at him. He even claims the cat knocked him on his ass at one point. Thats pretty damn embarrassing, to get your ass kicked by a cat, no wonder he kicked it to death.
