And Bullitt Circuit Judge Rodney Burress must have agreed.

Alex Daniel Phelps, 26, was sentenced to five years in prison on his guilty plea on eight counts of torture of a cat causing severe physical injury or death.

Each Class D count received a five-year sentence with each running concurrently for a total of five years in prison.
