We desparately need your help. The court date for John Johnson, who was charged with aggrevated animal cruelty, a class E felony, is June 13th at 1:00 in the Henderson County court house in Lexington. I doubt very seriously if Johnson will show up. His bond was reduced from$10000.00 to $5000.00. He paid the $500.00 and walked out of jail. David has been subpeoned to court and well as Mrs. Betty Mobley, who is the land owner who asked David to investigate the case. I am very afraid that they will put David on the stand and make him look like the criminal instead of John Johnson. The ADA has never wanted to work with us on prosecuting any animal cruelty cases we have brought to him. He was even quoted as saying what is all this fuss about dogs. DA Jerry Woodall called for a meeting of David ADA Bill Martin, County Mayor Dennis Ray McDaniel and Sherifff Lunsford.

David asked to record the meeting and Woodall refused, saying if you have to record this and can't trust me then there is no reason to have the meeting. On the phone, Woodall told David that if the problem is with Bill Martin, then "he can be moved and we can get someone else in there to work with you." David went into the meeting thinking they were going to work with him, instead it was all set up to intimidate David. Woodall told David that if he gave any more press/media interviews, or sent out any more pictures on the internet of the cruelty case that he(David) is going to be on my (Woodall) bad side. In the Henderson County News, you can find it on line, www.hcnewspaper.com issue May 17, that David would not comment but everyone else that was interviewed made him look like an idiot. This is what they want. They don't care about what happened to the animals. They are mad because David has brought attention to it. If you haven't seen the pictures or the story ,you can see it on Pryor's Planet website and the letter we wrote to Woodall, that we recieved no response from is on there also. There is also the story and pictures on West Tennessee Animal Coalition website. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! For those of you who live close enough to be at the courthouse, PLEASE COME.
