- Share via
A woman charged with felony animal torture is set to stand trial later this month.
The Sacramento Bee reports Friday that 23-year-old Kayla Wright will go on trial on July 28 in Sacramento Superior Court.
Authorities claim Wright was responsible for wrapping a speaker cord around a dog’s neck, killing it and leaving it in a trash bin in a Carmichael, Calif., neighborhood.
A second dog was found alive with its neck strung with cord and painter’s tape around its jaws.
Authorities say a third dog was found cowering under a parked car after the owner reported the dogs missing.
Wright also faces dog theft charges in two December 2014 incidents in a Sacramento suburb.
Sheriff’s officials said images from neighborhood surveillance cameras linked her to the animal thefts.
