SD Men Found Not Guilty Of Beating Horse With Clubs

HURON, S.D. (AP) — A Beadle County jury has found two Cavour men not guilty of felony animal cruelty charges.

KOKK-AM reports that a jury needed just over an hour of deliberations Thursday to find 35-year-old Justin Murray and 67-year-old Dennis Kerney not guilty.

The trial lasted two days.

The men were accused of hitting a horse on the head and back with wooden clubs as they attempted to groom the animal.

The two men were the first in Beadle County to be charged under the state’s felony animal cruelty statute. South Dakota became the last state in the nation to enact such a law in the 2014 legislative session.
