Allexis T. Ferrell, 27, was found next to the animal in Canton in August, after reportedly stomping on its head and then beginning to eat it. Officers said they found her with fur on her lips and blood on her hands and feet.

Ferrell initially pleaded not guilty and a mental health assessment was ordered to see if she could stand trial. A clinic later found she was capable to understand the court proceedings, and at her competency hearing on Monday, she changed her plea.

​"I can't express the disappointment, shock, disgust that this crime has brought to me," Stark County Common Pleas Judge Frank G. Forchione said in court. "I don't know what could prompt anyone to want to eat a cat. You've embarrassed this county. You've embarrassed this nation. More importantly, you've embarrassed yourself."

Ferrell was sentenced to 12 months in prison, the maximum sentence possible. She was also given 18 months of incarceration for breaking probation conditions, having previously been convicted of endangering children, theft and misuse of credit cards.




EDIT: She is native born and not of Haitian extraction.

2. I am glad they threw the book at her.

It is a shame we could not sentence her to a longer more appropriate sentence.

4. She does not seem to be Haitian?

[kirby]

5. Born in Ohio apparently n/t

[pandr32]

6. Maybe someone exclaimed. "She ate one!"

A bystander heard "Haitian!"

Before you jump on me just say it slowly, or with some kind of accent. Could have happened!
Sorry, I'm in a silly mood this morning .

8. With Trump and Vance's integrity, you might not be far off.

10. How about that? She isn't. Native born.

[Boomerproud]

7. Speechless.

9. Mother of three

I'm sure they'll turn out just fine.

11. This lady was an American

[Hekate]

12. She sounds mentally disturbed, insane even

[Maeve]

13. She needs help. She won't get it, tho

Her's are not normal actions, but we are punishers in this state, not healers. She may be competent for trial, but she ain't right.

15. Another terrible thing about the way we treat the mentally ill, besides limiting thw anout of lifetime total ...

...benefits health insurance provides, usually well under $100,000, the fact we've torn down mental health facilities to force them into homelessness and families to tend them, the first mental health treatment provide for the vast most of the mentally hill is in contact with the police.

She ain't right, the police are not competent treatment and society is sick for promoting this model since Ronald Reagan.



BTW: this was all done to save tax payer's money. While the military Industrial complex really came out from behind the curtain.

14. When the whole eating pets thing was in the news

I saw some headlines about woman caught eating cat with fur on her mouth. I thought it was fake news so didn't read it.

OMG, I wish she could get life in prison. Ain't nothin' going to fix that kind of brain.
