Nevada man convicted of torturing, killing dogs denied parole

RENO, Nev. (KLAS) — A board has denied parole for the Reno man serving time for torturing, killing and dismembering seven canine.

Throughout his parole listening to final month, Jason Brown, 32, stated what he did to animals was “merciless” and “disgusting” however he has served his time.

In 2015, a decide sentenced Brown to twenty-eight years in jail, which might have meant he was not eligible for parole till 2025, but it surely was decided — below Nevada regulation — he was truly eligible for parole in 2019.

In line with the Nevada Division of Corrections, Brown’s crime was mistakenly labeled as violent which might be correct if the victims have been human. However as a result of canine are thought-about private property, the crime was reclassified as non-violent. That classification makes him eligible for parole a lot sooner.

“I’ve earned day by day I spent in jail it’s the place I wanted to be all these years,” Brown stated in the course of the listening to. “I admit that my crime was merciless and disgusting and reveals me how mentally sick I used to be on the time of my arrest,” Brown stated.

Brown, who bought the canine off of Craigslist adverts, killed them in a motel room. The crime was found by a maid.

Brown is up for parole once more in 2025.
