Jay Parker, the Scott County man found guilty on two counts of theft of property and one count of animal cruelty, has appealed the ruling. According to court documents, Parker feels as though an “appealable error occurred during his trial.”
Parker was found guilty by a jury on July 27 and sentenced to 12 years at the Arkansas Department of Corrections—(2) six-year sentences served consecutively.
Parker was granted a $75,000 cash appeal bond and released on August 11. The case will now go to the Arkansas Court of Appeals for review.
