Seems our good ole’ buddy, Eckhart, is at it again. Some of us gave a sigh of relief when Eckhart pled guilty last month to two counts of animal cruelty and was to be sentenced on November 16th. I guess that feeling may be shortlived. (Even though I felt pleading guilty to only two counts was ridiculous after all of the original charges against him.)
Well, now, it seems Eckhart has had a change of heart. He now wants to withdraw his guilty plea in his animal cruelty case and go to trial. The court date to deal with this latest development in the never ending saga of Eckhart, former owner of Almost Heaven (Hell) Kennel is scheduled for October26th. at 1:30 PM in Judge Robert Steinberg’s chambers.
According to Eckhart’s new attorney, Jeffrey Conrad of Lancaster, the charges relating to his (Eckhart’s) failure to conform to an order to close his kennel were caused by mistakes by his former attorney.
Now get this………Eckhart is now claiming……according to Conrad………that he is innocent of the animal cruelty charges because he was attempting to save dogs that would have otherwise been destroyed. These statements have been filed this past September 28th.
Can you believe this? Can anyone believe this man? I knew it was too good to be true that he would plead guilty. OR he is trying to prove that is completely insane? This man truly has a psychological problem. That answer will have to be determined by the court as stated in his last court appearance.
Nothing……..and I mean nothing……surprises me about this so-called man. Let’s hope Judge Steinberg will throw this out Eckhart’s attempt to withdraw his guilty plea.
Please….let justice prevail……for once!!!
