RENO MOTEL DOG MURDERER SENTENCED — A man who pleaded no contest to beheading and dismembering seven dogs was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Jason Brown, 25, pleaded no contest to torturing and killing dogs and two counts of possessing methamphetamine. He was arrested in July 2014 after an employee of the Super 8 motel on South Virginia Street found the dead dogs in Brown’s room. Brown, a former presidential scholar and psychology major, was convicted of torturing, killing and dismembering seven dogs, in what the judge, prosecutor and defense lawyer all agreed may be the most horrific crime they have ever seen in their decades of legal practice.  Brown also filmed himself killing the dogs. Judge Elliot Sattler says the video was so disturbing, it was almost equivalent to viewing child pornography. Brown will be eligible for parole after serving 11 years in prison.
