SEGUIN — In the wake of worldwide Internet attention, the County Attorney’s Office Tuesday agreed with defense attorneys to make no further statements pertaining to the prosecution of three boys accused of torturing, killing and beheading a small dog.County Attorney Elizabeth Murray-Kolb issued a brief statement announcing the agreement.“The Guadalupe County Attorney’s Office has agreed to an Order to Restrict Publicity and will therefore make no further statements regarding the dog torture case to the press,” Murray-Kolb said.The county attorney’s office, which prosecutes class A and B misdemeanors and juvenile cases here, has been inundated with calls, e-mails and even petitions seeking stern action against the youths, ages 15, 13 and 12.They are accused of stealing a small dog named “Tobey” Aug. 29, andtaking him to an abandoned house off Glenewinkel Road, where they arealleged to have thrown the

animal from a second floor window and thenbeating, burning and hanging the animal — before they beheaded it.Murray-Kolb said she was sickened and outraged by what happened to the dog, and that her office would vigorously prosecute the case. She also said that in addition to protecting the public from other possible similar acts,she wanted to be sure help and rehabilitation was made available for the youths.“We have to remember these are children,” Murray-Kolb said.Tuesday, Prosecutor Nan Udell said she couldn’t comment further or say when the next hearing in the case would be.“She did confirm the agreement, though.”“At this point, it’s not an order of the judge,” Udell said. “It’s an agreement between the attorneys.”In an Aug. 30 detention hearing, County Court-at-Law 2 Judge Linda Z.Jones ordered the boys held for 10 days and set psychological evaluations. Another hearing in the case could come this week, but county

attorney’s office employees do not confirm juvenile hearings. "Think occasionally of the suffering of which youspare yourself the sight" Albert Schweitzer
