Great -- on uneventful Election Day, a kitten-torturing story. Granted it's in Syracuse, but unlike
previous kitten torture stories, this one's got a techonology angle: Rascell Williams is accused of
hanging the kitten by its neck and videotaping it -- and don't think we haven't got crack teams of reporters scouring the net for that footage. Joanne Cichy found the video of the kitty "
struggling before going motionless" at the end of a belt and realized the magic had gone out of her relationship with Williams, her live-in boyfriend. Apparently Williams did the torture as a Halloween prank, which will no doubt figure in his defense; as the kitten survived, he is charged with unjustifiable animal cruelty, as opposed to, oh, we don't know, unjustifiable animal murder one.
