Jury selection to begin in alleged
animal cruelty case Mondavi
WACO (AP) — Jury selection was set to
begin Monday in the trial of a former Baylor
University baseball player accused of shooting,
beheading and skinning a stray cat a year ago.
Derek Brehm, 20, of San Antonio is charged
with animal cruelty, a Class A misdemeanor.
In response to the interest the case has gener
ated in the media and with animal rights groups,
McLennan County Court-at-Law Judge Mike DEREK BREHM
Gassaway has ordered 50 prospective jurors to report Monday,
instead of the usual 15.
Brehm’s co-defendant, former Baylor baseball player Clint
Bowers of Robinson, is set for trial April 1.
Waco police arrested the two March 9 shortly after receiving a
report that someone shot a cat near the Baylor campus and fled in
a sport utility vehicle.
Police stopped Bowers’ Chevrolet Tahoe nearby and noticed
blood on the door and steering wheel, according to police reports.
While searching the truck, police found a severed, skinned cat’s
head in the back.
They also found a pellet gun. a knife and a golf club that
appeared to have cat hair on it.
The cat reportedly was named “Queso” by some employees
of a Taco Cabana restaurant near Baylor, where the animal often
ate food scraps.
Prosecutors Crawford Long and Melanie Walker have offered
no plea bargains to either defendant, saying the case shor
decided by a jury.
Both men, through their attorneys, have indicated that
would plead guilty if their sentences would keep them out of
“1 think it is unfortunate that we have to go to trial" Brr
lawyer, Russ Hunt, told the Waco Tribune-Herald for Sunda\
tions. *‘I think the boys did something that showed a lack of
ment. but I don't think they violated the law.”
