LOUDOUN COUNTY
Trainer Indicted After Malnourished Horses Seized
A Loudoun County grand jury indicted horse trainer Dennis B. Danley yesterday on 48 counts of animal cruelty, a Class I misdemeanor, Commonwealth's Attorney James E. Plowman (R) said.
He faces up to a year in jail and $2,500 fine on each count. The charges were brought in connection with the seizure of four dozen thoroughbreds by Loudoun County officials Jan. 22 from a Middleburg area farm. The animals were found to be severely malnourished and without drinking water.
Danley said last night that he stopped working on the farm in November, owned no horses and is not responsible for their condition.

U.S. DISTRICT COURT
Judge Will Leave Norfolk Post in May for Private Sector
A federal judge in Norfolk resigned yesterday to work for the law firm Jones Day.
U.S. District Judge Walter D. Kelley Jr. said in a letter to President Bush that he had "reluctantly concluded that my professional interests and the needs of my family are best met in the private sector." Kelley, who has served on the bench since 2004, said his resignation is effective May 16.
