Alla/Stella

[katdobemom]

All
Many have kept up with Alla/Stella case http://dogshownewsnetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=464
and so I wanted to clear up a bit of info that has been making it to some of the other lists. Wanda Minnick has posted that DAR&E had asked for postponement in the trial that was to have taken place Dec 16, 2008.
This is incorrect information. Our DAR&E BOARD of Directors was notified approximately a week ago that Ms McGeary and her attorney were asking for postponement based on one of her witnesses being unable to attend.
Ms Mcgeary has asked for postponement on additional occassions as well.
At this point we do not have a rescheduled date.
We were so hoping that against all odds, Stella would be back with her Mommy Dr. Kim for Christmas...........sigh.........

[Elaine]

I am so so sorry for Kim and Stella... this has gone on so long... it is sickening.. and to have more lies being spread about it... well, it's all simply sickening. For Kim, if it is any comfort, many of us understand this mess, and who created it, and we care about the agony you've been put through. You will get through this.

[Athy]

Thank you, Elaine. Truly, Dr Danoff is to be admired for her strength and perserverance throughout this horrible ordeal.

Please feel free to correct these stupid rumors on any lists that they may appear. As far as I know, the only list that has been discussing the postponement as a DAR&E request is HealthDobes at Yahoogroups (moderated by Louise Fornier Perry.) Louise kicked me off HealthDobes months ago, when another member pointed out that I could theoretically have the list discontinued by Yahoo as a result of the ongoing defamation that was happening on the list. So Louise's response was to boot ME off the list. So the defamation and lies merrily continue there since the truth will never be permitted to interfere with the story telling!

Again, DAR&E absolutely did NOT request this postponement. This latest postponement, as with all the preceding ones, was initiated by McGeary and her attorney. It is my understanding that a witness subpoenaed from Texas was unable to attend the trial on December 16. Therefore, a postponement was granted.

[Elaine]

I do not know Louise, never met her, have never had any dealings with her. Several posters on DSNN belong to her list. They seem to like her. We all know what a mass of misinformation there is out in the Dobe world about the theft of Stella, most of it coming from that creature in California and her list. I lot of people believe what they read on that California list, without independently checking facts. So, Louise may have had some strong biases and apriori assumptions before you ever said a word about Stella. Louise may not realize that she has bought a “story” hook, line and sinker. The worst damage done when lies and deceits get spread around as the truth is that otherwise good people do not know the truth. Rather, they form opinions based on faulty and false information, and opinions once formed are very difficult to change.

I suspect that if you’d met under different circumstances you and Louise would find you have a lot in common.

[Athy]

You may well be right, Elaine. I don't know Louise either, never met her or talked to her in my life. I know her only by her own actions around the management of her list. In fairness to Louise, I saw that she did permit one individual to post the truth to HealthDobes regarding why McGeary's trial was postponed again. I guess that's something.

Athy, you and Kim have been the victims of a sleazy stupid PR campaign… by people with the same fervor as the AR terrorists we all abhor. These people lie and manipulate the truth to advance their agenda, and along the way innocent well meaning people are sucked in to their story. That seems to be what has happened with the Stella situation. Purportedly Alla committed an illegal act, a reckless, stupid illegal act, which has become a cause célèbre for many people who simply don’t know the facts. Hopefully people will look at the photos here and take the time to read Kim’s story, and yours, and even All’s vet’s opinion of Stella.. and they will come to a much wiser and more accurate conclusion about who the victims are. Kim and Stella are the victims. In my opinion, Alla is a reckless stupid criminal who deserves to be punished.

[Athy]

Agree totally. And here's the thing: defamation like this doesn't just go away. Even in the face of outright truth, some of these characters just hold on to the lies - because to admit that they may have been wrong would just be too awful to contemplate!

How sad that these folks can't show a little common decency. Admit you were taken in - admit you fell in with the mob mentality. But no. That would require some backbone and integrity, something that just seems to be lacking in some quarters.

Are the accounts of these dates and the reasons for postponement correct?

1. Dec. 6th, 2007 Postponed by the DA to Jan 2008

2. April 2nd, 2008 Postponed by the court. Motions were to be heard and the Judge didn't read the motions before hand. Rescheduled to July 18th.

3. July 18th postponed and rescheduled by the court and Commonwealth to Aug 1st

4. Aug 1st postponed and rescheduled by the commonwealth and the court to Aug 25th

5. Aug. 11th The defense requested the court date to be rescheduled from Sept 11th due to lack of time to prepare for trial because of the Commonwealth/court postponements and the latest hearing date having been moved to Aug 25th. Trial reset for Dec 16th.

The trial is now set for May 4th & 5th. The defense did request that it be moved due to 2 witnesses. The defense did not request a trial date that far ahead.

As you no doubt know, this issue drew the support of McNealy early on. I suspect she supported it because of a long standing harangue of Athy (which was spun to complete distortion by McNealy, what else is new?). I doubt McNealy's support of Alla was based on a review of facts and applicable law, McNealy isn't that reckless. I’ve been told that Alla’s own vet said Stella was not abused and I’ve been told that legal counsel (or an attorney that was consulted) told this group of morons that stealing Stella was wrong. It appears that in spite of facts known to them at the time, they refused to return Stella. When you have gross stupidity fueled by the agenda of a third party, you indeed have a mess. Stella and Kim Danoff are the victims here, and to a degree, so is DAR&E

Your inquiry above might be worth a second look, if only because of the spin people are putting on it. I believe that many of these dates in your post reflect hearings on pre-trial motions. Athy or someone can come along and give us the details. Not exactly sure what the point is, when this is all in the context of a criminal prosecution, but if you have a question, by all means, let's discuss it. My feeling is that anyone supporting Alla is supporting an accused dog thief. Supposedly there have been a few posts by Wanda on HeathDobes and elsewhere, which predictably generated some ignorant “seal clapping” responses, possibly because some people drew conclusions from Wanda’s post… not sure any of that has much relevance. This is not about whether Wanda is misleading people, though one can understand if she is. The fact remains that Alla is the defendant in a criminal trial, purportedly because of her involvement in the theft of a dog.

Bottom line, people like Alla should be prosecuted to the fullest extent allowed by law. At the very least, this ignorant woman Alla (who purportedly helped tear Stella from a wonderful loving home and from Kim Danoff, the woman she loved), is an example of what any Animal Rights or HSUS maniac could do. Supporting Alla is tacitly endorsing an AR maniac’s right to steal any dog they choose, because the AR maniac unilaterally decides it would be a good idea, and then after the fact the misguided maniac gets a chorus of buddies to approve. IF McNealy or any of the powers at DPCA actively owned and bred dogs in 2008 (or in McNealy’s case, even owned a dog), they might get their heads out of the dark foul cavity it currently occupies long enough to see that we can not allow a precedent that AR or other maniacs can simply steal dogs on their whim. The precedent is a disaster for us all. Alla is not a victim, she is *purportedly* nothing more than a misguided thief.

SO, tell me LTR, how are your holidays coming along? Btw, do you post on CyberDobes? Read it much? Anything going on there that we should know about... anything that relates to this topic?

I am a witness for the prosecution in this case. The Commonwealth sent me two summons to appear for trial: September 11, 2008 and December 16, 2008. Both scheduled trial dates were postponed and rescheduled at the request of the defense attorney. These are the ONLY two scheduled trial dates that I am aware of.

As far as I know, all the other dates that Wanda Minnick has referenced were not trial dates - these were pre-trial hearing dates. I am not aware of any being postponed - they occurred or were continued - meaning that the business was not able to be completed in the originally allotted time slot. Why Wanda has chosen to identify these pre-trial hearings as trial dates is beyond me.

The little interlude came about as the result of Wanda posting that the 12/16 was to be postponed and several on HealthDobes piping up that DAR&E had requested the postponement. This is not true. Wanda should have corrected that misperception immediately but she chose not to. Therefore, it was corrected in the one forum that permits the truth to be told: DSNN.

I do not know when the trial has been rescheduled - I have not received any new notifications from the Commonwealth.

You'd think that these foes are Animal Rightest activitists. They come in and take over and leave the owner helpless.

Initial and subsequent paper work are key to the defense, I'm sure. Intent of all parties at the time you got the dog are also crutial. However, their intent is hard to prove. They obviously wanted to get rid of the dog, you obviously wanted to home the dog. Then things changed on THEIR side.

I've learned to not complain too strongly in writing because sometimes it comes back and bites me on the buttocks. However, they must have another agenda . . . and there must be a way to determine exactly what it is.

I am saddened for you and your plight. If there's anything I can do please let me know. I'm very good at thinking . . . .

Wow, I was asking the question about the dates just so I could better understand the sides of this saga. Didn't mean for any of this to turn to what goes on on another list or about any person in particular.

I just wanted to understand whether the delays were caused by the defense or not so I could try and sort out the facts.

That's all... nothing more.

No problem… you asked a question… and you got a response.

Please understand that no one is jumping on you… not at all. Rather, the question about these details comes from some posts that Wanda made on another forum (or two forums, possibly CyberDobes and HealthDobes). After Wanda’s posts someone wrongly inferred that the prosecution had asked for the postponement, purportedly because they "did not have a case." Surely you can understand how wrong it is for such stupid and inaccurate information to be spread around on the internet, especially when it is never corrected or retracted by people like Wanda.

The theft of Stella is being prosecuted as a felony because it is a FELONY. We should all be concerned when an Animal Rights maniac or any crazy idiot (HSUS or any or category of idiot) steals a dog. It impacts us all if we allow or support such a precedent. On a very human level, stealing Stella from Dr. Danoff was an ugly destructive crime. Celebrating Alla as some sort of hero stands reality on its head. She is an accused felon. All’s conduct deeply impacted many people’s lives, it was wrong… it should not be tolerated on any level, and it will generate a vigorous response here, in part because we’re tired of the lies and misleading info that is spread about the internet and in part because, as reasonable adults, we believe that seeking the TRUTH and working for justice for Dr. Danoff are meritorious pursuits.

But none of this is personal to you and I sorry if it came across that way.

[Athy]

I just wanted to understand whether the delays were caused by the defense or not so I could try and sort out the facts..

Hey, sorry if it felt like you were being attacked. I guess the whole debate boils down to accuracy. I have stated that there were two prior trial dates set and that the defense postponed them both. Wanda Minnick calls me a liar. Here is a picture of the Virginia courts website. As you can see, three trial dates have been set: 9/11, 12/16 and now 5/4.

The VA website is consistent with what I've been saying - there have been two trial dates set prior to the May 4 date and both were postponed by the defense. I'm not sure why it matters so much to Wanda to argue this point but the fact is that she's not being accurate in her reporting. Hearings are not jury trials - they're pre-trial hearings.

Speaking of accuracy, Wanda reports on her website that the DA dropped one of the charges against McGeary ("The DA dropped the charge that said that she was in violation of Virginia Code Section 18.2-97"). That's not true either. Both charges still stand: Code Section: 18.2-117 & 97. I clarified that with the police and it's clearly stated on the Virginia courts website. Why has Wanda not corrected this error?

As Cheri herself states, spin, spin and spin but you can't spin away facts. Well, yeah, in her world, you can. Just stick your fingers in your ears and sing la-la-la because that's what most of those folks are doing. This is a serious matter and it's just going to become more serious. Stealing a dog is a felony in Virginia. Period. Why do these folks continue to encourage Alla to do this? Return Stella. I think that would go a long way toward stopping this train. Carrying on over minutiae like this isn't going to help the core issue.

As always, if ANYONE has any information about Stella's whereabouts, please call Eric Heflin, the police investigator assigned to this case, at 540-665-6383. If you have talked to anyone who has intimated in any way that he or she may know where Stella is, please call him and tell him what you've heard. We want Stella back. Please help us bring her home.

I sit here tonight thinking of our upcoming trial on Monday May 4th. I remain in complete amazement that this saga is occurring. How could anyone in their right mind look at these photos of how I cared for Stella and my other pets and think I did not love her with all of my heart. I was frustrated with her manners. It was not easy. It was beyond challenging. But like any mother with a challenging child, you persevere, seek out new ideas, alternatives, and therapies to fix the situation. This is what we did. I won't rehash the situation. But ironically, these folks, that likely amputated her deformed limb, have done more harm to her than I ever could have or would have done to her. This poor poor angel. This is animal abuse if I ever saw it. Clearly these people don't know the best of the best in the orthopedics/rehab world or they would know how harmful this was to Stella. They would know that limb was not in pain. She used it to hold toys, chew raw hides, hold her Kongs, scratch, to balance herself when standing and when zipping around the yard, to balance herself when riding in a canoe while going through rapids, and to tell you that she wanted your attention. Sadly, Stella will never do ANY of these things again. CRUEL and ABUSIVE! It sickens me inside to think of Stella being mutilated like this and the pain she endured post-operatively-all for no reason. Because Stella was so young when this aweful procedure was done, it leaves Stella with excess stress and abnormal alignment for many more years to come. This excess stress and poor alignment puts her other joints and spine at great risk of arthritis, injury, disc herniations, etc. In addition, what happens if Stella ever injures her one and only front leg? Breaks it, pulls a muscle, has nerve damage, has bone cancer, needs a growth removed and has some pain for a while...SHE WON'T WALK! God help her if this other limb has a problem. She would lose her mobility. Are these folks going to carry her around? Get her a front end cart? Or simply euthanize her? Few options for dogs in a situation like this. VERY sad for Stella. That some simple orthopedic issue on her one good front leg, could end up resulting in her demise at a future date b/c these ignorant whack jobs amputated it to hide her from the family that loves her and misses her more than anything. I wouldn't be surprised if she now had cropped ears too.

This truly astonishes me. That Alla would risk losing her freedom, have to leave her mother and her animals behind and possibly go to jail. For what? Because she needs to be right. She needs the attention. Her friends have told her she needs to do this and now she is in a bind and can't find her way out. She has gone down a path, fabricated information, and now feels she must stick to it b/c she has dug herself a hole that is so damn big she cannot figure out how to get out without making herself look bad. Alla, if you are out there, please return Stella. We won't ask ANY questions! This whole thing will go away when you return Stella. I promise to give her a wonderful existence! This will all go away if Stella is returned. If she is not returned, this is just the beginning-there will be civil suits to follow. This is not a joke. Not a threat. The truth. We want Stella returned. I am doing this b/c I love her. Not to win a battle. I have far better things to do with my time and would much rather give my money to animals in need of rescuing than to attorneys. If I did not love her with all of my heart, I would have given up 2 1/2 years ago. What do I need this headache for?!

Please think of us on Monday and Tuesday. Good energy goes a long way. Think positively. Think of Stella reuiniting with me!!! There is power in positive thinking. And wish Stella well. We all know she needs our love to be sent to her.

Thank you,
Kim Danoff, Stella's Mommy

[katdobemom]

Kim
I cannot even imagine the pain you continue to go thru because of these folks.
I cannot even imagine your heartache.
The photo's of you and Stella truly speak a thousand words of a dog that def was living a great life and was loved.
For anyone to think its ever ok to steal let alone a family member be stolen is truly idiotic.
These folks also tried to destroy a rescue (DAR&E) that has saved thousands of dobes over the years will have to answer as well.
All that we ever wanted was Stella returned and this all could have gone away for Alla.

[abowman]

Kim:

This has got to be the most difficult thing to go through. I just hope this time justice will see you through and that Stella comes home to you.

You will be in our thoughts!

[Elaine]

If you look at the legislative agenda of the American Kennel Club as expressed EVERYWHERE in this country, you see the AKC asking politicians to limit the scope and authority of animal control / animal welfare people to conduct warrantless searches and or to not allow animal control agents to have police powers to search and seize. That was always Patty Strand’s position with the NAIA, it is the AKC’s position, it is the position we are asked to support in the legislative alerts we get on a weekly basis from the AKC.

So how an earth can any member of the DPCA support Alla in this criminal action? I understand CD and Burke (McNealy and Burke are joined at the hip, she seems to run the DPCA through him) but if we reasonably believe the prosecutors in this case, how do we ignore that what Alla did is the worst extreme of an animal welfare person running amok. In Stella’s case we have – allegedly- a rogue rescue worker (Alla) acting in concert with a group of wrongly informed gossips, who simply stole Stella, unnecessarily amputated her leg, and then passed Stella around the country in a transparent attempt to evade law enforcement.

Trials are always uncertain things. Consider that O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the criminal trial. People do get away with illegal activity all the time, that is a sad reality of life. Considering how long this has gone on, and the pain this has caused to Stella and to Dr. Danoff, I can’t help but wonder if Kim regrets relying upon the Rule of Law. Bob had it right all along, if Alla and her gang had stolen a dog of his, god help them! CD would be running a very different sort of auction.

[doberdogsfd]

Oh, you are so right Elaine!
Messing with our family tends not to get the best and most friendly reaction from either he or I. Putting one's hands on our kids would just be a bad day all around.:)

I hope this trial goes the way Dr Danoff intends for it to go.

Cheryl

[abowman]

I just saw that Alla was found guilty. I hope that they make her return or tell them where Stella is!

Angela

[stellasmommy]

we are thrilled to announce the conviction of alla mcgeary. She was convicted of a felony and has to pay A $2500 fine. We were hoping she would be thrown in jail. But we are still excited by this long overdue victory. Stella is still nowhere to be found. Alla plans to appeal this case. As a witness I was unable to observe the trial, but was told that Alla's friends were very disruptive on multiple occasions and the judge threatened to kick them out of the court room if they did not behave. They all showed up wearing Doberman t-shirts and he made them cover their shirts. The defenses claim to fame, was that I abused Stella. Yet photos admitted as evidence showed quite the opposite. The defense presented a case based soley on lies. It was amazing. This group of people are evil and care only about getting their way. We won the case, but I'm sure they feel that they still hold the trophy, Stella. Poor angel. During my testimony I was asked to review many photos of Stella now with 3 legs. It was not easy. They tortured her, abused her, and forever affected her life. These are sick people. I'm sure you are wondering if anyone asked her where Stella was. Alla said she gave her to someone she did not know named gopher and he put her in the underground railroad. And then someone sent Steve martin an update with photos that he passed on to Alla, but Steve did not know the identity of the person that sent him the photos. Interesting story. Allah felt it was better for Stella to go with someone she did not know, as opposed to going back to danoff that abused her. If these people think this is over, they are mistaken. We have won one victory and there will be more to come. It is just a matter of time.

[Athy]

Anyone recognize the four legged dog or the location? If you do, let us know. Thanks.

[katdobemom]

All
We are thrilled that this horrible situation has in some ways ended.
While Alla was convicted of a felony that will impact the rest of her life, her possible livelihood, etc. she had to know there would be consequences.
More so impacted forever will be Kim Danoff, DAR&E and Athy Conigliaro.
All were raked over the coals for nearly 2 1/2 years via internet, via e-mails to shelters telling them DAR&E should never be contacted regarding dobes in need.
All were lambasted because one woman decided she and 1/2 dozen like mindeds that they were going to take matters into their own hands and we were to sit back and do nothing.
When DAR&E challenged them and exercised our rights (legally) that didnt sit well with them. So up went the websites, up went the Cyberdobe chat's, the SND' chats and out went the letters to shelters condemning DAR&E, Athy and Kim D.
The opposition's supporters were hoping by wearing SND t-shirts, carrying SND bags it would possibly sway 12 jurors? Not so much when the judge quickly ended their "marketing campaign" for SND:)
They brought in the court hallway a plate of muffins as if having a party of sorts. It almost seemed it was just another social gathering.
Alla was compared to "Robin Hood" by the prosecution, but just like Robin Hood's supposed good deeds, there was punishment.
All proclaim ignorance as to where Stella is. A dog she chose to use to set her into martyrdom, she claimed to love, and she doesnt know where the dog is? hmmmmmmmmm......
Then add to this the good Dr Sam Burke, President of DPCA, who I imagined
Alla thought would add to all, got to travel to lovely Winchester Va, only to be NOT allowed to give testimony at all:) How proud fellow DPCA members must be of their president?
My guess would be that at this point we will see the websites Wanda Minnick has put up for her good buddy Alla( who has been extremely vocal in all this but was absent at the trial) will be busy at work today setting up more auctions for Alla to pay her mounting legal bills. She will probably be fast and furiously be adding website additions about the travesty of justice her good buddy Alla has suffered and Cheri McNealy will be fast and furious on cyberdobes continuing to lambast Athy. An obsession that will no doubt ever end.
At the end of all this mess that has gone on for over 2 years, one question still remains. Where is Stella?
All of this could have ended very early on for Alla had she just returned a dog that absolutely did not belong to her.

[doberdogsfd]

Congratulations Dr Danoff!!

Continue to press for more info regarding her where abouts. You never know who knows who and if there is an ability for someone to reach out and collect her for you. After all, the dobe world is a small one.
The felony charge should rattle someone's cage enough to believe it may land on their door step now. Recieving stolen property(as the law views our dogs) carries it's own stiff charges. If I were one those people holding or hiding this dog, it would be a concern for me. Just some food for thought.

Continued support Doc in the pursuit of your girl.

Cheryl and Bob

Too bad the judge couldn't see fit to make McGeary produce the dog, or send her to jail until Stella was returned to DAR&E.

$2500 isn't enough for the slander & libel that has and will no doubt continue to pile up.

At least Stella has a dober-buddy...

[Athy]

At least Stella has a dober-buddy...

We don't know that Stella is still in that location. Heck, we don't even know if Stella is still alive. Maybe Steve Martin knows. He is the one who is pen pals with the photographer.

If anyone recognizes the location or the other dog or the RV in the background, please let me know.
