Open House - Coming Soon!
05/04/2008

Monday, May 5th - Update on Court Appearance of Kevin Schneider in Waltham, MA:  There was a lot of meeting going on this morning, between Schneider's lawyer  and the DA, and the police who arrested Schneider. We all thought  there there was going to be a plea deal worked out, including jail time, but Schneider didn't go for it. The bottom line is finally, a trial date has been scheduled: August 21, 2008. The trial will be at:

Newton District Court
1309 Washington Street
West Newton, MA 02465-2011

On that date, a jury will be selected and the trial will begin.  With the number of witnesses and the amount of evidence to present, this trial could go as long as two days.

As far as we know, there has been no deal with Connecticut or Rhode Island for a "global resolution" of all the cases.  So we plan on seeing Schneider in Connecticut on May 12, and in Rhode Island on May 19.

Spring Open House will be here soon! May 17 & 18 - 12:00-5:00 both days.  We'll be having our usual Not Quite Westminster Dog Show, starting at 2:00 both days.  This spring the contests (all for fun!) will include longest tail, oldest dog, youngest dog, best trick, and longest sit.  Everyone who enters gets a prize!  And, in celebration of our 25th anniversary, we'll also have a costume contest for the greyhounds on each day.  The winner of the contest will receive a trophy and a $50 gift certificate to the Homeward Bound Hound Boutique!

We hope to see you on the 17th and 18th to join in the celebration!

Mark your calendar - Greyhound Friends' 25th Anniversary Celebration!

May 31 - Greyhound Friends' 25th Anniversary Celebration.  5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Charles River Country Club.  More information on the Upcomng Events page.

THE CONTINUING STORY OF TALCA AND SARI - Upcoming Court Dates

There is an effort to have the charges in all three states addressed at one time. Updates on this will be posted as we receive them.

THE CASE IN MASSACHUSETTS: Trial scheduled for August 21, 2008 in Newton.  Newton District Court, 1309 Washington Street, West Newton, MA 02465-2011

THE CASE IN CONNECTICUT:  May 12, 10:00 AM. at Danielson, CT Superior Court, for pre-trial.
     
 

THE CASE IN RHODE ISLAND: May 19, 9:00 AM, Providence, RI District Court, for pre-trial.              

       

We've had a number of requests for the addresses for officials in which to continue to write letters in support of Talca and Sari, and to encourage the full prosecution of Kevin Schneider.  These addresses are listed below.

Letters to the Chief of Police in Rhode Island would be particularly helpful to encourage the case to go forward in that state.
