Dale Bozzio sentenced to jail

"...Tommy Tutone's '867-5309/Jenny' singer Tommy Heath, who called her 'compassionate, honest, a loving parent, and a champion of animal rights' in a statement read to the court." If that's the best she could do for testimony to her compassion, honesty or qualities as a loving parent, even Howard Stern isn't going to be able to redeem her reputation. Wait...what am I even thinkin?!?!

Ashley stated that Dale’s attorney, not Dale, offered the Tommy Heath character reference. 

Ashley’s reporting is excellent and revealing. I am concerned that the information Ashley got from the sentencing arguments may also have been what the judge heard. 

Please carefully, very carefully, read what Ashley reported in paragraphs six through eight. If Ashley heard that stuff and was confident enough to report that, the judge may have heard the same thing as Ashley, and then….what’s a judge going to do? 

From what I have read, the problem was caused by a major communications breakdown, not by any intention on Dale’s part. Dale assigned the caretaker task, and very tragically, that activity did not happen.

Dale has performed at the top of her field; details count a lot when differentiating between something that is just good or great.

She has had very much to do with managing her business over many years. 

Then carefully read Dale’s reaction later in the report. Then, read it again. 

Dale is a good person. And good people should not be sentenced to jail.

With her music, Dale has hung herself out there for us, and that can be enough of an emotional roller coaster ride. To be hit with this, it just shouldn’t be. 

Dale has given so much to us and has continued to give time and time again. As recipients, we have experienced top quality music and have been able to dance our hearts out. 

It’s time for us to give back, especially at this moment. Somehow we need to be able to help her. I do not know if she challenged the sentencing. It’s my opinion that she should. If she didn’t, she’s making a huge sacrifice and we need to show our support and help her to be strong. 

Dale, please know that we truly care.

This is insane. Dale made a mistake. She should not be punished for having too big a heart. Pay a fine, settle up with any landlord disputes and move on. The fact that Dale is in the public eye and will have this follow her for the rest of her life(unfortunately) will be more punishment than she deserves. Everytime she goes out on stage there will be some idiot meowing, etc. To someone with a bad sense of humor like me it will certainly get a chuckle. Good luck Dale. Hope to see you in New York area someday. Keep yor chin up. Keep singing. Dont worry about the cat calls. See its funny for me and I like Dale!

Funny, Yet very sad for the poor cats, I’m shocked!, she always preaches on stage how she love animals, what a disappointment,  as being a cat lover I’m offended  … I have met Dale a few times at  her  shows while visiting the states, she seemed very nice But completely stoned out of her mind on drugs or  something, she’s not all there. Not sure what to make of  all this, if she’s guilty?? she should go to jail, if it was Joe Bob in New Hampshire, who works at Taco Bell, you know he would be strung up, it should be the same no matter who you are, who once were or who you think you still are??. If she’s Guilty??? (Get a Rope)

 no one ''stoned" could sing like Dale. Her talent is  God given, and her obvious love of animals is what got her in this trouble. Look at the facts clearly , and all of her whole life's behavior toward animals. Must we always kick those who are different ??  Is this America or what ??

 LISTEN PEOPLE DALE WAS RAILROADED SHE DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!!!! I would have done the same thing!!!!!!!!!

  I love Dale Bozzio.   I haven't heard much of her since the early 1980's when she was married to Terry Bozzio and was frontwoman for Missing Persons.   I just think this was a misunderstanding/tragedy from someone who loves animals and couldn't say no to them.  She PLAINLY hired a caretaker who "took" Dale for a ride.  They didn't do their job, so now Dale has to pay the price.  If she didn't love animals, she wouldn't have had them in her home in the first place.  It's ok Dale, I think you're the type of person that will get pleasure from community servicing animals.  WE LOVE YOU. laura in florida

I spent a lot of time with Dale as a friend and taking care of her son's Troy and Shane.(when they where younger)  I don't believe Dale would hurt anyone or thing intentionally.  Personally I have hired two different people to come into my home to dog sit (never again) I was fortunate enough to have my mom was also checking in! (Unknown to them!)  One came a day late and stayed a day later...what a surprise when I was there and she thought no one was!  (again tg for mom) Another clearly had a romantic night with her boyfriend....and did little else!  I was fortunate enough to have my mom as back up and neither of the sitters where aware.  It could have enede up awful had I not.  I will never trust pet sitters (other than mom) again. So lets not judge...Dale means well, I don't believe this was intentional by any means!   

Damn, no wonder the neighbors were pissed off. I bet you could smell that house a mile away.

How can anyone defend this mentally ill/possibly drugged out nutbag and what she's done to her cats? I too have cats and I have also had to hire caretakers for them when I was not around to do it myself but I've never had a situation even remotely like this. When I've used caretakers, I've checked in, followed up and made sure my pets were as healthy and happy as can be in my absence. By the looks of the photos and the amount of feces around, this wasn't a case of short term neglect by a caretaker. This went on for quite some time. Dale, her attorney, supporters and friends can yap all they want about how much she loved animals but the pictures tell the real story. An animal lover would NEVER allow conditions like that for their pets. I don't know if she's actually done jail time or not but if she has or is still yet to go, I hope her caretakers let her starve in a cage full of her own feces and urine until she's dead. Then let the other inmates feast on her carcas until only an arm bone is left. I'm disgusted with the whole situation and all of you who make excuses for her.

I apologize to all for the multiple posting. It wasn't intentional. My comment wasn't showing up and each time I tried to post it, I would get an error reported. I just came back to try again and oops! I see my comment on here multiple times. Sorry!

To hell with her.  Her excuse is a load of crap as are her "fans" crying over her sick ass.   

i find this repulsive how the hell could anyone be away from home (on tour) without checking in with someone , this just shows everyone how irresponsible drug abuse/alcohol abuse makes someone , and the people defending this disgusting behavior are guilty too , take care of your f*cking cats
