I grew up with Cory, thought he was a very nice guy and so did everyone else all through elementary/middle/high school. Just because someone is a "good guy" doesn't mean they are not capable of commiting a crime like this. Normal people snap and make mistakes everyday, but it still doesn't make it okay. It is also not okay that the laws regarding animal cruelty are so lenient in North Carolina. I will allow the judge to do the judging but I will also be praying for stiff punishment and justice for the family who lost a FAMILY MEMBER that day! It's so tragic and unthinkable, and my heart hurts for this family.
