Target: Scott Warren, County Attorney for Wake County, NC
Goal: Prosecute suspects accused of poisoning and killing dogs to the fullest extent.
A supposed pillar of a North Carolina community has been charged with heinous acts. Jim Goldston had served on the board of a faith-based children’s home and also on the board of an animal rescue organization. The latter duty makes the charges against Goldston and his wife, Agnes, all the more horrific.
Investigators allege that the couple poisoned three of their neighbor’s pet dogs. Two dogs, both Labrador Retrievers, died as an apparent result. The causes of death were reportedly confirmed by a veterinary examination. Letters were apparently uncovered seemingly threatening the dogs and specifically to “blow their brains out.” An additional charge has been filed alleging the Goldstons also threatened harm to the same neighbor’s daughter.
Jim Goldston has resigned from his positions, but now both he and his wife need to face full legal repercussions if they are found guilty. Sign the petition below to demand prosecutors seek the maximum punishment in this disturbing case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney Warren,
A dispute between neighbors should never result in physical harm, but if allegations prove true, Agnes and Jim Goldston committed a vicious act of vengeance that resulted in the deaths of innocent living beings. The Goldstons are accused of not only threatening their neighbor’s daughter, but of poisoning this neighbor’s three pet dogs. A veterinarian has reportedly confirmed that the two deceased dogs succumbed to poisoning.
These allegations are made even more egregious, if possible, by Jim Goldston’s community involvement in both children’s charity and—in a twisted bit of irony—animal welfare. This couple had full awareness of the damage and the ramifications of their alleged actions. Please ensure they face the full weight of the felony charges against them by seeking a penalty that reflects the heinous, serious nature of these reported crimes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
