CASE HISTORY:
State v. Lelani Folden (Yamhill County) – In June 2014, Animal Cruelty Prosecutor Jake Kamins helped convict Leilana Folden of horse neglect after a three day trial and 30 minutes of jury deliberation.Folden had three horses boarded at a stable in Grand Ronde who had been regularly breaking out of their barren pasture to feed.
The Sheriff’s Office, along with Dr. Barbara Kahl at the United SPCA, evaluated the horses and recommended seizure due to malnutrition.
She was sentenced to probation, 200 hours of community service, and has to repay $10,000 in restitution to the United SPCA. She also may not possess domestic animals or equines for five years.
United SPCA successfully rehabilitated all three horses and is in the process of re-homing them.
