Florida man brutally kills iguana and will be sentenced. Unfortunately for the man, there was surveillance footage that showed the man tormenting the lizard for 32 minutes before the lizard finally died. So the judge didn't buy the man's story of self-defense. The man could have killed the iguana legally in different ways. The law allows people to kill iguanas. But not with cruelty. Freezing, drowning and poisoning is illegal. The man should have talked with a lawyer, before he killed the lizard. Or made up a better story, instead of saying the lizard attacked him. He should have killed the lizard, where no one could videotape the death. It's his word against a dead lizard, after all. Who are you gonna believe? ------ ------ Florida man tries to use ‘stand your ground’ defense after beating iguana to death NY Daily News KATE FELDMAN June 2, 2021, 1:00 PM Scroll back up to restore default view. A Florida man argued that he feared for his life before violently bashing a three-foot iguana to death. A judge didn’t buy it. Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Dana Gillen ruled against PJ Nilaja Patterson’s “stand your ground” defense in the standoff, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Tuesday. Patterson, 43, was charged with animal cruelty for the brutal beatdown in Lake Worth Beach in September. According to his lawyers, Patterson rescued the iguana from the middle of the road, after which the animal allegedly bit Patterson, requiring 22 stitches. But prosecutors painted Patterson as the aggressor, pointing to surveillance footage that showed the 32-minute attack, during which Patterson “savagely beat, tormented, tortured, and killed” the iguana. Patterson “clearly tormented the iguana” and reacted in “a violent rage,” Animal Care and Control Sgt. Adam Moulton wrote in an arrest report obtained by the Sun Sentinel, claiming the man “chose to stalk the helpless iguana and deliver vicious strikes to the animal.” The iguana suffered a lacerated liver, broken pelvis and internal bleeding, according to the necropsy. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission allows residents to kill iguanas, but it must be done humanely, such as shooting them with a pellet gun, stabbing them in the brain or decapitating them in a way that they do not feel pain. Freezing, drowning and poisoning is illegal. If convicted, Patterson faces up to five years in prison. | |
