[Dailydrool] Annie's

[Leanne Potts]

Randall Treadway had his day in court today in Jonesborough, Tenn. He showed
up without an attorney and the judge told him to get a lawyer and come back
April 1. The judge told him he would be first on the docket, no delays. "If
you don't have a lawyer at that time, you'll have to represent yourself,"
the judge told him.

Treadway's mother, Linda, who owned the house where BRBR found Annie, has
also been charged with animal cruelty. She has hired a prominent defense
attorney from Johnson City, Tenn.

Both Treadways face up to a $2,500 fine and a year in jail. Randall Treadway
is also being asked to pay restitution for Annie's medical bills.

Here is Annie's FirstGiving page if you want to donate money. There are new
photos of Annie there, too:

Here is her petition. If you want to tell the Washington County DA to put
Randall Treadway under the jail, please sign it:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/91/justice-for-annie-the-basset-hound
Then send it to all your contacts and ask them to sign it. We'll make sure
the DA gets it before Treadway's next court appearance.

Thanks for all the donations, cards, emails, and the drool. You guys rock.
