Terry Kleiman, 32, will also have 4 years of extended supervision after he is released in 2016 for what the judge called "despicable" actions. The jury deliberated for a mere hour before finding him guilty
Kleiman broke into the woman’s apartment on November 23rd, 2008, hoping to find his ex-girlfriend. Its believed he would have murdered her had she actually been home, but instead he took out his revenge by stuffing her puppy inside the oven and turning it up 350 degrees F. He then promptly left to go out biking with his motorcycle gang. When the ex-girlfriend arrived home later she found her apartment filled with smoke and the smoking body of her puppy in the oven.
Kleiman could have received as much as 14 years for both the burglary and animal abuse charge, the maximum allowable sentence is 12.5 years for burglary and 1.5 for animal cruelty.
Animal cruelty is often cited as one of the early warning signs of psychopathic behaviour.
