Prosecute THE MAN WHO SHOT BABYBOY
- Target: The Honorable Spencer Bachus, Prosecutor Frank Funderburg, Chief Adam Pardue, Magistrate Pricilla Newton, The Town of ODENVILLE, AL
- Sponsored by: R. Brace and the ASPCA Online Community
On the evening of Saturday June 28, 2008, the family of Terri Davis', lives were changed. Their little bassett hound, Babyboy, slipped out of the safety of his backyard. Moments later a neighbor came to the Davis' front door to report their precious little dog was hurt.
Another neighbor, Christopher Delawder, had shot and killed Babyboy.
Surrounded by a crowd of people, Terri picked up his lifeless little body screaming to God, as tears ran down her face. At that point she didn't know how babyboy had died.
They brought him home and it was then, as they looked him over, that they found the bullet hole.
Christopher Dewayne Delawder was part of the crowd that surrounded Terri. He was asking if, "Anyone had seen anything." In other words, he was acting like he had no knowledge of the shooting. When the police arrived he lied to them.
It was after Mr. Delawder contacted his attorney, (2 hours later) he admitted to shooting the Davis family dog. His excuse? He stated he had every right to shoot the dog to protect his cats.
It is suspected that his cats, (if there really are any) are locked in an unventilated box in his backyard. In which case, not only is he guilty of a crime by shooting the dog, he is also guilty of animal abuse.
Alabama state law made it a class C felony in the year of 2001:
Title 13A. Criminal Code. Chapter 11. Offenses Against Order and Safety. Article 1. Offenses Against Public Order and Decency. § 13A-11-14. Cruelty to animals. Section 13A-11-240. Definitions. Section 13A-11-241. Cruelty in first and second degrees.

(b) Cruelty to animals is a Class B misdemeanor.
(Acts 1977, No. 607, p. 812, § 5565.)
13A-11-240. Definitions.

(Act 2000-615, p. 1252, § 1.)
