When DuPage County Judge Robert Miller sentenced a suburban kennel operator on charges stemming from a 2019 fire that killed 29 dogs, he acknowledged there was nothing he could do to prevent the owner from obtaining more animals once the term was complete.
Authorities said that in 2017 and 2018 one of the dogs that died, Molly, was kept in a crate that was too small. Another, Magoo, was not given proper veterinary care. The body of Koko after the fire was found tethered to a bathtub so tightly that there was no way the dog could move. Mercado was not at the kennel the night the fire broke out.
DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin, through a spokesman, declined to comment on the ruling. The spokesman said the office is considering its options, which could include appealing the decision to the Illinois Supreme Court. Devon Coleman Coleman, then age 17, and Philip Walker, also 17, were alleged to have arranged to buy a gun from Durr at the Foxview Apartments. They and a third man, Joel Leitner of Tennessee, were charged with murdering Durr.
