Chronicle reporter Ben Westcott writes: Defendants Robert and Anastasia Palulis appeared in Argyle Town Court Tuesday night, and Judge Stacy Davis made a determination that “the accusatory instruments are facially sufficient” for their criminal case to proceed.
Twenty-one dogs died overnight at the Palulises’ Anastasia’s Acres Dog Boarding facility in Argyle on Aug. 23-24.
The couple are charged with 22 misdemeanor counts of overdriving/torturing/injuring animals and failure to provide proper sustenance to the 21 dogs that died.
Judge Davis scheduled pretrial hearings for Feb. 24 at 5 p.m. to see if statements made by defendants can be used at trial.
