From the Orange County Register: ST. CHARLES COUNTY, MO. A
Wentzville, Mo., woman was found guilty Wednesday of hitting another
woman over the head with a dead Chihuahua puppy, and could now get up
to 18 months in jail.
The bench trial featured X-rays of the
dog, a detective’s pictures of the dog, and testimony from the woman
who said she was hit over the head repeatedly with the dog.
Lisa
Hopfer, 34, was found guilty of third-degree assault and trespassing,
both misdemeanors, after a trial that lasted about an hour at the St.
Charles County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon.
“Yes, I was pissed,” she testified. “But I did not hit her with the dog."
