Hip hop star DMX had his day in court, and it wasn’t very pretty.

A judge sentenced him to 90 days in jail on convictions of marijuana possession, theft and animal cruelty.

He will also be put on 18 months probation.

The charges stem from an incident in 2007 when authorities searched his Arizona property and found three dead dogs,  marijuana and some pit bulls that were malnourished.

That’s not a humane way to treat your pets.

Considering there were three of his dead pet dogs on his property, I would say he got off lightly if he only has to serve three months in jail.

  I am a animal lover, but it makes me very sad that we show more concern and give more press time to cruelty to animals than we do to a child molester. They do their two years and are right back on the street destroying more lives. Wake up America care about each other more.
