The 12-time felon and Gilroy man who killed his wife’s puppy by throwing it against a wall more than a year ago was sentenced Friday morning to six years in state prison, a much shorter sentence than the 25 years to life he was facing.
A Gilroy man who's been in custody since last May for allegedly killing his wife's 6-week-old Chihuahua puppy has yet to enter a plea but will be in court again next month, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
