Dear
Mr. Carnright:
The New York State Humane
Association wants to take this opportunity to thank your office for its
excellent prosecution of the David Moors, Felony Animal Cruelty case, that took
place in County Court last week under Judge Williams.
Several members of our organization
were in court for portions of the trial and the pronouncement of the verdict.
They were impressed by the presentation of facts and examination of witnesses
by ADAs Paul Derohannesian and Michael Kavanagh. ADA Kavanagh's cross‑examination
of the defendant was on point and key to the ultimate guilty verdict.
As we are acquainted with the
family, we furthermore know the background work that was put into gathering the
pertinent facts to form the solid foundation of the case. These two ADAs were a
formidable team; their work and talent resulted in justice for Clara, an
innocent and loving animal who never deserved her tragic fate. You must be very
proud of both attorneys.
We are comforted to know that
we in Ulster County have a DA's Office that recognizes the importance and
seriousness of crimes against animals and affords those cases the prosecution
they deserve.
