A trial date for two men accused in the drop-kicking death of Gizmo, a Yorkshire terrier, was set Friday for Oct. 22, Susan Niland, a spokeswoman for the Davidson County District Attorney General’s office said.
Chad Crawford and Michael Lee Davis, are charged with the intentional killing of an animal and aggravated cruelty to an animal, in a case that made headlines around the nation.
Davis held the dog while Crawford kicked it high up in the air as if it were a football, police said. The dog went soaring before its body slammed against the pavement as its owner watched in horror.
