I think we can be confident that he won't slip through the system. Yes, his legal team will be well-paid for and I hate that, but the Humane Society, ASPCA and PETA are all on top of this. Those are three very powerful organizations who- working together- will be extremely powerful and influential in this matter. You can check on the Humane Society's webpage to see if they have more that you can do. I have to skip over the details of the cruelty...I can't read about it, I just can't. But they have a link from this site where you can read the indictment that was handed down yesterday against him.
