My gosh, am I red in the face with embarrassment.
Do you mean there have been two BIG court cases?
I just thought perhaps the Arkansas fella, CC Barnes had to go to court in
the next BIG city, that being Memphis, just over the Mississippi River from
Arkansas! Opps..But they are neighboring states....But now I read that trial was
in Little Rock, which makes sense!
I can't find any news in a Memphis trail, or Judge Alan Glenn, but if you
do Google search in news on Puppy Mills, a ton of news stories come up, many of
them being the one I keep talking about in Arkansas, sorry about my confusion.
If someone can send me a URL on this other puppy mill trial, I would love to
read more about it.
Bill embarrassed on rainy night in "Frisco".....

Class B dealers operate under the jurisdiction of the Department of
Agriculture and are required by law to treat animals humanely. They are also
required to purchase animals only when sellers have all appropriate
documentation. Apparently, some dealers ignore these requirements while also
purchasing animals that may be strays or may have been stolen directly from
owners' yards.
Four years in the making, DEALING DOGS follows the undercover investigation of Martin Creek Kennel by the animal rights group Last Chance for Animals. A young man who goes by the name of "Pete" in the film wore a hidden camera while he worked a low- level job hosing kennels at the dog dealer. Over the course of six months, Pete secretly filmed activities at Martin Creek Kennel, including the beating and shooting of dogs, and recorded footage of animals that were left to languish in their kennels and suffered from malnourishment, life-threatening disease and injury, among other abuses. Dog corpses are shown piled up on the property and in trenches after being butchered for their organs. C.C. Baird and his family owned and operated Martin Creek Kennel, one of the largest Class B dealers in the United States, until Last Chance provided the results of their undercover investigation to federal authorities, who closed the facility in 2005. Baird's sentencing is expected to take place this winter. Filmmakers Tom Simon and Sarah Teale met Pete at the beginning of his extended odyssey on behalf of Last Chance for Animals, during which he recorded information and Last Chance presented incriminating video and photographs to the USDA and federal courts in Little Rock. Meanwhile, many more Class B dealers continue to operate without adequate oversight. Tom Simon is a seven-time Emmy® winner; DEALING DOGS is his first film for HBO. Sarah Teale's previous America Undercover credits for HBO include "Bellevue: Inside Out" and "Mumia Abu Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt?," which received a CableACE Award. DEALING DOGS is an HBO Documentary Films Presentation; a Working Dog/Teale-Edwards Production; produced by Tom Simon and Sarah Teale; edited by Geof Bartz, A.C.E.; music composed by Jamie Lawrence; sound and photography, Tom Simon. For HBO: supervising producer, John Hoffman; executive producer, Sheila Nevins. " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! Join today! "
