Attorney Sudan Odoyo tells Eyewitness News she resigned from the task force after she found out that the prosecutor's office was dropping charges against Jamie McFarland.
He was one of two men charged after police say a dog was tied to a tow hitch and dragged to death.
Cox was found not guilty last week.
Note: According to the Good Samaritan witness, Cox is the one who threatened her:
BRAVE HERO: According to a probable cause affidavit, that caller — identified as a 40-year-old woman — told deputies she honked at Cox and then cut him off in an attempt to get his attention. She said Cox got out of his truck and threatened to kill her after she told him about the dog and tried to take a photograph of the incident, deputies wrote. That woman was able to provide a photo of the truck's license plate and a photo of Cox's arm which bears a distinctive tattoo, according to the affidavit.
She's prosecuted 25 animal cruelty cases at no charge to the county.
She says she feels strongly the case against McFarland should have been tried because it was stronger than the case against Cox.
Odoyo says all five members of the task force believe the case should have been tried.
