<< I edited the mug shot out>>
A bond hearing for 18-year-old Tyler Hayes Weinman is scheduled Monday afternoon. He was charged Sunday with 19 counts each of animal cruelty and improperly disposing of an animal body.
In the past month, residents in two Miami neighborhoods found more than two dozen dead cats. Police say some had been skinned, and it appears a sharp, straight instrument was used in some cases.
Authorities said they had been watching Weinman for some time.
Weinman's attorney has said that his client is innocent.
An arrest report shows Weinman was was arrested last month for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license.

This article caught my eye...and this question has been eating at me all day, so I thought that I would bring this to all of you for your input!!!
The article had a statement from a young neighbor who was close to the same age: "well, if Tyler isn't guilty of this horrible crime, this posting of his face and name will surely ruin his life"!!!
Should newspapers be allowed to do this {posting names & faces of the accused}...it reminds me of the young man who's life was totally trashed after the FBI went after him for the Olympic Park Bombing and he was innocent of all those charges too! While I hate that the cats have been horribly mutilated and this young man seems to have had 'SOME' trouble in the past...is he just the easy target?
