more information on voting

When you vote, you are voting on whether or not the punishment fit the crime, NOT on the severity of the case itself. If you feel the sentence was very weak, you would vote 1 star. If you feel the sentence was very strong, you would vote 5 stars.

Please vote honestly and realistically. These ratings will be used a a tool for many future programs, including a "People’s Choice" of best and worst sentencing, DA and judge "report cards", and more. Try to resist the temptation to vote 1 star on every case, even if you feel that 100 years in prison isn’t enough.

A horse rescue east of Roseburg is trying to save the lives of some horses that were brought in recently in a fragile state and way underweight.

The two new horses were brought to the Strawberry Mountain Mustang facility, and operators of the ranch say the two were close to death with compromised organ and extremely anemic. One horse was estimated to be about 400 pounds underweight.

The two being nursed back to health with food and medical care, but the owners of the facility say it's getting costly, and they're looking for any donations for the care of the two horses.

Contributions can be sent to Strawberry Mountain Mustangs at P.O. Box 2133 in Roseburg
