The penalty does seam a little ruff

Nebraska StatePaper.com - Case of Doggone Sex Goes Before Nebraska Supreme Court: "The state Supreme Court will hear the appeal of a woman who thinks 90 days in jail is too harsh a penalty for having sex with a dog.
Ramon Anglemeyer was charged after her arrest in January of 2003 when Lincoln police seized videotapes at the home of John Ways Jr.
The tapes showed Anglemeyer having sex with a canine.
The high court will hear oral arguments in the case on January 5th.
Ways owned a strip club until he was sentenced to six years in a federal pen for possessing an explosive device.
On appeal, Anglemeyer says her conviction was based on her association with Ways, rather than evidence presented against her. She received the maximum sentence: 90 days and a $500 fine.
When sentencing Anglemeyer, Lancaster County Judge Gale Pokorny said she and Ways had made similar tapes involving animals and other woman. He concluded that Ways and Anglemeyer were part of a pornography business."
