Teen Cheyenne Cherry taunts animal activists after guilty plea for killing kitten in oven

[Are_grits_groceries]

A heartless kitty killer hissed angrily at animal rights activists Wednesday, grinning widely as she took credit for stuffing the helpless pet into a 500-degree oven.

"It's dead, bitch!" snapped an unrepentant Cheyenne Cherry, sticking her tongue out after a plea bargain that will put her behind bars for a year in the May 6 killing of tiny Tiger Lily.

Cherry, 17, was confronted after her guilty plea in Bronx Supreme Court to charges of animal cruelty and attempted burglary in the May 6 killing at her former roommate's apartment.

Tiger Lily was left to die inside the blistering oven after Cherry and a 14-year-old friend trashed the apartment of Valerie Hernandez, destroying furniture before stealing DVDs and food.

After her arrest, Cherry told police the cat killing was "just a joke."

This evil spawn is headed for the Big House at some point.

1. A year of incarceration ...

... and probably not a minute of genuine therapy.

She'll kill someone some day.

[Javaman]

37. Yes, she will. nt

[fasttense]

2. Most serial killers start out killing small animals. This girl and her friend

are going to be a big problem when they finish growing up. They need some serious psychiatric help now.

8. They have had this problem for a while now--it gets worse

Cherry is not new to animal crimes.

She was busted last year for using a BB gun to dog-nap a teacup Yorkie with her boyfriend. She was also arrested for robbing a man of his iPod at gunpoint.

The dozen animal lovers who attended the hearing said they represented more than 20,000 people who signed an online petition supporting harsh punishment for Cherry.

They were thrilled by the deal that guaranteed Cherry would do time for the cruel killing. "She is dangerous," said Brooklyn cat owner Josie Marrero. "A very dangerous young lady."

Tuerlings said she wanted to get a glimpse of the monster behind the cat execution. "It felt so good to look at her ugly face," she said. "Those evil eyes that she has."

12. Is this a picture of Cherry??

You have to admit, if you looked at her face and didn't know she killed a kitten, it would be easy to mistake her for a normal teenager. I don't see evil in those eyes. We only see evil because we know what she did. She definitely needs help, but she may also be a psychopath who can't be helped. I recommend keeping an eye on her. My stomach turns knowing that an innocent kitten suffered so much cruelty at her hands.

[a kennedy]

13. "but she may also be a psychopath who can't be helped"

Yup, that about covers it.......

[caraher]

17. I doubt psychopaths have a characteristic look

I agree that you'd have no idea from looking at that photo (assuming it is her) that she was someone capable of that kind of wanton cruelty. But I suspect evil has many faces that don't all match our mental profile of what depravity looks like. I know in my head if you describe a crime like that and ask me to draw a picture of the likely culprit I'm probably going to come up with a wide-eyeed middle-aged white guy with unkempt hair, a picture probably conditioned by post-arrest photos of various serial killers over time. But every mind has some (hopefully tiny!) chance of being twisted horribly. I wonder what went wrong with hers?

[surrealAmerican]

21. The picture caught me by surprise too.

Such a good-looking kid, but so nasty. Maybe she's one of those people who's so good looking they think the universe is there for them to do with as they please.

[ccharles000]

3. ..

what an evil fuck

[REP]

4. I don't pretend I'm kind or nice, so I hope someone shanks this fuck

[get the red out]

10. She's a monster

Whatever bad comes to her it is her own doing.

[get the red out]

11. She's a monster

Whatever bad comes to her it is her own doing.

[Maru Kitteh]

36. Allow me to join you in that hope.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. So obviously a psychopath it isn't even funny.

People like this can't be let out on the streets. Ever. Keep them in a safe place. Study them.

[slackmaster]

30. She's a psycho BOULEVARD

To borrow a punchline from Get Fuzzy.

[Pool Hall Ace]

6. It's not her first time being cruel to animals.

The "but they're just animals!" crowd will be along in 3, 2, 1 . . .

It's just a matter of time before she moves on to killing people.

R.I.P. Tiger Lily :cry:

[slackmaster]

31. The best we can hope for is that she kills someone who deserves to die

Then gets caught, convicted, and incarcerated for life.

[The Stranger]

32. We can hope for a hell of a lot better than that.

Prison justice doesn't take kindly to child molesters and animal abusers.

Hope she gets what she deserves, and then some.

[Vektor]

34. That would be herself, then.

She needs to crawl into a fucking oven herself, and I don't give a shit who has a problem with that.

[theHandpuppet]

7. After reading the whole article and her history of cruelty and crime....

... I'm convinced that it's only a matter of time before someone dies at the hands of this young sociopath. As for prison -- I wouldn't want her as a cellmate, that's for sure. She's a ticking time bomb.

[FLAprogressive]

26. It's amazing, we give heavier punishments to pot-smokers.

[aikoaiko]

9. If she is a sociopath, she's not a very intelligent one.

She'll not be around for long.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Something has happened to her at some point.

[Fumesucker]

15. Yes, I feel horror at what she did..

But I have to say I feel sorrow for her, it must be a living hell to be that twisted.

[distantearlywarning]

16. This girl sounds kind of insane

It might be a year this time, but I'm pretty sure she'll end up behind bars for life eventually. Probably after she kills someone.

[gauguin57]

18. Whoa. This chick is a sociopath. The prison system has a major Bad Seed on its hands.

Cheyenne needs some therapy, pronto. Sick.

[rug]

19. Here's the cat.

[ellie]

23. Poor kitty

[Berry Cool]

20. She's definitely a sociopath, and therapy does not help sociopaths.

The sad part is, she will have to graduate to killing at least one human being, as an adult, before they can finally put her behind bars for good...which is really the only thing that can be done with sociopaths. Take them out of society and keep them so well locked up they cannot escape.

However this girl got to be this way--born or made--there's no fixing her now.

[Arkansas Granny]

22. Sadly, I believe what you say is true.

Maybe something horrible happened to her in the past, but I don't think she or others like her can ever be rehabilitated.

[lunatica]

24. A serial killer in the making

Lots of serial killers started as animal abusers for kicks and eventually graduated to humans. I bet she's at the stage where she fantasizes about torturing and killing people.

[FLAprogressive]

25. No, *she's* a bitch. And karma is too so watch out.....

Sorry for using that term (I know people get upset over it) but it's the only proper descriptor of this terrible excuse for a person.

[brendan120678]

29. Thanks for posting what I was thinking...

"Young lady" does not describe her at all.

- Sociopath
- Thug
- Punk
- Criminal

And, of course, the description you used, "bitch."

Much better descriptors.

[Blue_Tires]

27. her parents must be REAL proud....

she'll fit in well in the prison system...

[slackmaster]

28. Forced sterilization and lobotomization doesn't sound so bad to me at the moment

What a scummy little bitch.

[WI_DEM]

33. If I had been the judge and heard her yell that I would have had her marched back

and said, "You just earned yourself more time behind bars." But I guess due to her age that can't happen.

[Coventina]

35. That is a fiend in human form. She needs to be locked away FOREVER!

As many have already pointed out: next time it will probably be a small child, or an elderly person, or a mentally disabled person, someone who can't fight back, but will give her more of a thrill to kill than a kitten (too easy).

Sociopaths like that cannot be cured. She needs to be kept heavily drugged & in isolation for the rest of her life.

:puke:

on edit: so mad, can't type straight...

[mitchum]

38. A nasty little bitch

[chrisa]

39. Classic sociopath.

"It was just a joke" - No capacity to feel remorse for the life that was just taken.

She'll be back in the slammer in a few years.
