I will be in the court room tomorrow morning. Please join me if you can. Read below:
Darius Ewing, who was arrested and charged with animal cruelty in the case of the burning death of Justice the puppy, is currently in the Dallas County jail on $100,000 bond. His attorney has filed a Motion to Reduce Bond, and a hearing on that motion has been set for this Thursday, May 10, at 9 a.m. in the 283rd Judicial District Court, with the Hon. Rick Magnis presiding.
Please try to attend this hearing to show your support for Justice and to send a message to the judge and all those present that this violent act is indeed worthy of a high bond. We need to counter the claims of those who think this crime is somehow less important because it was “just a dog” who was brutally tortured, set on fire and left to die.
Although the hearing is set for Thursday, a trial is taking place in that courtroom this week and it’s possible that it will not be completed by Thursday morning. If that happens, the hearing will be reset for another day. We won’t know until Wednesday whether the hearing will take place the next day, but I will send an email as soon as I hear anything definite.
The 283rd Judicial District Court is on the 6th floor of the Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront (formerly Industrial Blvd.), in Dallas, on the west side of I-35/Stemmons. Parking is $5 cash in two parking garages adjacent to the Courts building, and there are several lots across the street. Dress is business attire, and no clothing or badges with slogans are allowed in the courtroom. Also, no cameras (other than cell/smartphones) are allowed in the building.
We know most of you work and will need to make arrangements to take off, but please plan to attend if you can . . . in the name of Justice.
Thanks.
