D.B House case: Your emails and calls made the difference!

[Guest guest]

My assistants and I are very pleased to announce that your faxes, calls and

emails to the prosecutor's office made a difference in the

Daniel Bruce House case. The additional contacts from the HSUS, ASPCA I

believe, and other animal groups also I am sure

helped this along.

 

The NEW trial date is FEBRUARY 15th, and he is still held in jail on now a

$350,000 bail.

 

For those who may not recall, a zoophile and roadside carrot salesman by the

name of: Daniel Bruce House, was arrested twice for sexually abusing horses

in Agoura California.

He was out on bail the first time when he was caught the second time for the

same offense and at the same stable!

Mr House claimed he never forced the animals and they " consented " , yet the

horses had rope burn marks, bruises, internal injuries

and other injuries. One gelding died subsequently.

 

The prosecutor took the advice for court ordered psychiatric treatment AND

prohibition from having animals!

 

For a scanned Los Angeles Sheriff Dept complaint form, a newspaper clipping an

d House's photo as he was placed into the polce car in handcuffs appears on

my

web site for the case located at:

It is my concern that when he is eventually released he may re-locate and

re-offend, the animals he attacks could be YOURS or

your neighbor's. Obtain his photo, description and details and keep them for

future reference.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped and I will ost the sentence that was given

as soon as I obtain the information.

People v. House, SA 036279

 

Thank you for your recent E-Mail concerning the Daniel House case. I

am the prosecutor who is handling it. Because of the large number of

inquires, I am sending this letter to all who have sent E-Mail.

 

This office has and will continue to take this case very seriously. The

amended complaint in the case charges six counts of felony animal cruelty

and six counts of sexual assault of an animal. The defendant is being

held in custody in lieu of $350,000 bail since last June. The preliminary

hearing is set for February 15, 2000.

 

Since his arrest, the defendant has been examined by two psychiatrists.

While it would be improper to discuss the terms of case settlement

discussions, upon any conviction in this case, we will seek court ordered

treatment for the defendant's condition. Further, we will also seek an

order that the defendant not have any contact with animals.

 

Thank you again for expressing your interest in and concern about the

outcome of this case.

 

Very truly yours,

GIL GARCETTI

District Attorney
