recovery, before your raid.
- That's it, right?
- Yeah.
Okay, then that makes
29 dogs unaccounted for.
So where'd they go?
I don't know,
but this is negligence.
Yeah, they got rid
of state's evidence.
You can't prove
it was intentional.
Well, why not?
Because this is an organization
run by volunteers.
Non-professionals.
They could argue that those types
of people will make mistakes.
So what if we tied someone who
is a professional into it?
That could help.
What are you thinking?
Mr. Holloway, have you ever
abused your dogs?
Never.
And hookworms, roundworms,
pinworms...
are any of these things
life-threatening to your animals?
No, not so long as proper
de-worming protocols are followed,
- which is what we do.
- Even with your family dog?
Of course.
Where is your family dog,
Mr. Holloway?
My family dog, Delilah, was
taken from my home
by UAPA, along with
her newborn litter.
[attorney] Do you know
where your dogs are now?
No, I don't.
Nothing further, thank you.
[judge] Your witness,
Mr. Landon.
[Landon] Your Honor.
Mr. Holloway...
have you ever killed an animal
in a cruel fashion?
Of course, not.
Ladies and gentlemen, please direct
your attention to the monitor.
Mr. Holloway...
That video is a lie!
It was altered, as we've
explained before!
That isn't the question.
I just want to know,
is that you hitting the dog
with the shovel or not?
- Objection!
- I'll allow it.
Answer the question,
Mr. Holloway.
That dog got
into my yard accidentally,
and was threatening
to attack my daughter.
Who is conveniently off-screen,
or so you claim.
No, that dog, it was
threatening my family.
And yes, I did, and if I
had to do it again, I would!
Well, that sounds like the actions
of a very violent individual!
- Objection!
- Mr. Landon!
No, you'd do the same thing,
I'm sure!
I'm not the one on trial here,
Mr. Holloway!
- Objection!
- Mr. Landon! Order! Order!
I have nothing further.
I am putting us
into a 30-minute recess
and I want to see both of
the counsels in my chambers now!
[people shouting, jeering]
[Sara] Can I talk to you
for a minute?
Can't.
I just want to go inside.
It won't take long.
No. No way. Can't.
Then can you tell me why
29 of the Holloway dogs
are completely unaccounted for?
I'm not talking to you.
You know what I think?
I think you know
what happened to them,
and I think you're a good
person and you want to help me.
My wife's not well.
I can't afford to lose this job.
So you think it's okay to let
an innocent man sit in jail
for the rest of his life?
Couple weeks ago,
we lost the fairground location.
Had to bring
the Holloway dogs here.
There's usually only
50 dogs in there.
With the Holloway dogs,
there were 150.
They were on top of one another.
Didn't have enough food
to feed them.
So tell me what did you did.
I... I just need you
to understand
that it's tough
for me to find work.
Why's that?
Done time, that's all,
it's just tough.
Oh, my God, what is that smell?
Vincent, where are we?
We're here.
Vincent?
Vincent!
[Vincent] Over here!
Parvo killed a dozen
of them overnight.
Had to put down the rest.
Jackie, she didn't know
what to do.
Some bigwig from UAPA called and
said for me to dump them.
Jackie told me to do
as she said.
I was part of a dog training
program in prison.
[voice breaking] Dogs helped
turn my life around.
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't just toss 'em up
there with all the other trash.
So I gave them a proper
burial... right here.
Vincent, what happened
to the Collie?
another dog. She's gone.
And her puppies?
I'm not sure.
[crying] I'm sorry.
Hey, Hannah, it's Sara.
You ready to make
a real difference?
[Cassie] So what made you
change your mind?
I am so sorry
about our last conversation,
and I have learned
a lot in all of this.
Hmm. Like what?
Well, I went to Jackie's
animal shelter,
and it hit me that even with all of
the money that UAPA has given her,
she still couldn't
take care of those animals.
That's right.
I just didn't realize
how important
the organization really is.
The organization is the only
thing that matters, Sara.
I know, I know, I guess
what I mean is...
- She said she'll be here.
- She better be.
[attorney] You have been an animal
control officer for how long?
Five years.
Do you consider yourself
an expert
Yes, I do.
During the raid, you used
a UAPA truck
to transport
Mr. Holloway's dog.
That same truck had been used in previous
rescues to transport diseased animals, correct?
Yes.
Was the truck properly disinfected
before the raid on the Holloway farm?
I'm sure the UAPA team
took care of that.
Do you have any records
to support this?
No.
And the barn at the county
Fairgrounds,
it's frequently
used to store livestock.
Were proper bio-security
measures taken there?
The Holloway dogs were
in such bad shape
that those measures
weren't necessary.
Upon seizure, how many
of Mr. Holloway's dogs
tested positive
for the Parvo virus?
How many?
None.
Hm... how many died while they
were under your care?
[Landon] Objection! Your Honor, Miss
McConnell is not on trial here.
This question is directly
relevant to the credibility
of the witness's claim that
she's an expert on animal care.
Overruled. Please answer
that question, Miss McConnell.
I will repeat, how many of Mr.
Holloway's dogs died
while in your care?
How many?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You're under oath,
Miss McConnell!
I'll do the math for you:
29 dogs died, 29!
- Objection!
- Overruled.
Quiet! Order! Order!
of all 29 dogs,
most of whom contracted and died of the
Parvo virus while under your care.
It's extremely common
and very contagious!
Did you vaccinate the dogs
for Parvo?
No, there wasn't time and we
didn't have the resources.
- Why?
- We were overwhelmed.
Promises are made
and then broken.
- It happens all the time...
- By who?
Who made these promises?
[sighs] The UAPA.
[crowd murmuring]
Quiet.
Do you believe that dog
breeding should be allowed?
Absolutely not!
That's what this
was about, wasn't it?
To shut my client
down by any means possible,
as dictated to you by the UAPA,
even if it meant committing the same
crime that you're accusing him of?
Objection!
Your Honor, objection!
Sustained.
Your Honor, permission to
approach the bench.
I would like to submit People's
Exhibit D into evidence.
Your Honor, the state has no
knowledge of any new evidence.
Permission granted.
You're gonna love this.
The organization is the only
thing that matters, Sara.
I know, I know and I guess
what I mean is...
We can't be in the business of
finding a home for every stray.
Yeah, we attack from the top.
At the root cause.
And if animals are destroyed
