Kristen Lindsey, the Texas veterinarian who recently lost her job because she posted a picture of herself with a cat that had been shot through the head with a bow and arrow, won’t be charged with a crime.
An Austin grand jury came back with a "no bill” in the case, which basically means there wasn’t enough evidence to pursue charges.
"The Austin County Sheriff's Office say they received an unsworn hearsay report that the vet was acting to protect her pets from a ‘potentially rabid stray cat,’ reported KHOU.com. "After a thorough investigation, investigators [were] not able to determine where or when the incident took place. Without that, investigators lacked probable cause to obtain a search warrant for any Austin County properties pertaining to the incident.”
The verdict leaves a lot of people scratching their heads. If Kristen Lindsey posted a picture herself with the cat — holding it up by the arrow that was penetrating the cat’s skull no less — and bragged about killing him, then what more evidence is needed?
