Gruesome detail in puppy torture trial
Brothers who killed dog in oven face animal cruelty charges

Jurors recoiled in horror and wiped their eyes Thursday as prosecutors produced a series of grisly photos of a tiny puppy tortured and then killed in a gas oven.

The blood-stained oven showed scratch marks on the door and walls, indicating that the young dog ? its mouth and feet duct-taped ? struggled before it died.

Beige paint also covered the puppy and the inside of the oven, a final act of cruelty before the animal was tossed into the stove.

Two teenage brothers, Justin and Joshua Moulder, are on trial in Fulton County Superior Court for the acts that even defense attorneys described as "horrific and gruesome."

"The puppy struggled all the way until it death," said Laura Janssen, senior assistant district attorney, in her opening statement. She held a small, black stuffed dog to demonstrate the animal's treatment to the jury.

She stressed that the two brothers didn't just kill the dog in a sudden, random act of unexplainable violence. Instead, their treatment of the dog was cold, hard, calculated and deliberate.

She said prosecutors will show the brothers first dumped paint on the 3-month-old puppy, and tried to set it on fire. They duct-taped the puppy's paws to restrain it, and then lashed the same tape across its mouth.

When they failed to burn the dog, the two brothers set the bound, paint-covered puppy on a counter, opened the stove, removed two baking racks and then stuffed it inside, Janssen said.

She described their behavior as "inhuman and barbaric."

The torture, police say, occurred on Aug. 21 as the two boys broke into and then trashed the newly refurbished community center at the Englewood Manor apartments.

Lawyer Timothy Owens, representing 19-year-old Justin Moulder, acknowledged the puppy's fate was horrible but maintained his client is innocent.

"He did not do it," Owens said.

Likewise, Kevin Schumaker, representing 17-year-old Joshua Moulder, said there was no proof his client either trashed the center or killed the dog. He said much of the case hinges on five neighborhood children who fingered the brothers and may not be reliable. Other potential witnesses disappeared, he said.

"Do we just have two young men being served up on a silver platter?" Schumaker said.

Janssen said the state will eventually produce clothing and other items that tie the two boys to the scene. She also said they bragged about their acts to the five younger children, showed them their work and later threatened to kill them for calling police.

The trial is expected to take up to two weeks.

Kill the sick fuckers now before they grow up to be mass murders/serial killers.
