ALABAMA -- A man accused of buying kittens off the Internet to kill at his Athens home will go to trial in September.

Ronald Fraser Golden, 48, has a jury trial set for Sept. 15 in Limestone County Circuit Court, according to court records.

Golden is charged with 22 counts of animal cruelty. Police said he admitted buying the kittens off of Craigslist.
