"Trial starts in Buckeye dog-abuse, sex case

The trial of a Buckeye man charged with animal cruelty has gotten under way, nearly 14 months to the day after he was arrested.

Douglas Robert Burns faces two counts of animal cruelty stemming from the January 2004 discovery of photographs that showed the 51-year-old man performing sexual acts on his dogs.

During the second day of the trial, which began March 7, defense attorney Kristen Curry told the jury that “the sexual nature” of Burns’ acts “has nothing to do with animal cruelty.”

While state prosecutor Anthony Church conceded that bestiality isn’t illegal in Arizona, he said the cruelty charges stem from photographs that allegedly depict Burns penetrating at least one of his four dogs with a rubber mallet.

Speaking from the witness stand March 8, veterinarian Nancy Bradley confirmed that the use of a mallet in a sexual manner would indeed qualify as cruelty.

“Depending on the size of it, I would think it would be a painful event every time — unless the animal was sedated or restrained,” she said.

The case unfolded on Jan. 8, 2004, after employees of a Wal-Mart photo lab told Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office officialsthey’d developed photographs of Burns performing sexual acts with dogs. Investigators said they believe Burns’ wife, Carlotta, was the camerawoman.

Detectives from the sheriff’s Animal Cruelty Investigative Unit then searched Burns’ house, where they found more pictures of him performing oral sex on a male dog and engaging in intercourse with a female dog.

In a statement issued shortly after Burns’ arrest, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said, “This case puts a whole different spin on being a dog lover.”

What a sicko.  His sentence should include wearing a sign on his body at all times while in the general population of the prison.

Patty

Just kick him in the nuts

Leave him in a room alone with Newton, and see who gets penetrated..

Burn him at the stake.

Very nice Picture!!!

The defense may work since beastiality isn't a crime in Arizona. if the defense can prove the animals weren't harmed he will walk.

... and ... um I really don't know... Um .... Okay ... well ain't that just grand

 The handle or the head?    Either way he's a sick fuck sorry waste of life.  
 Call the National Endowment for the Arts.  They'd probably fund him and protect the pics as freedom of expression.

 Somebody just SHOOT HIM.    He's begging to be put down.
