A Dec. 8 trial date has been set for a 39-year-old Springfield woman accused of fatally stomping and bludgeoning a cat.
Nova L. Upton of 205 S. 54th St. has pleaded not guilty to first-degree animal abuse. That crime’s definition includes “intentionally, knowingly or recklessly...cruelly causing the death of an animal.”
Upton was arrested Sept. 5 after a witness called police to report seeing a man and a woman in the 700 block of South 42nd Street put a cat in a bag, stomp it and hit it with a shovel, then bury it in the backyard.
