It will be interesting to see if she gets more for the cruelty to animal charge than she would if she had sex with a student or abused a special needs student.
June 13, 2008 - Brenda Gradia, 41, a special education teacher at King Middle School, was arrested in Alabama and charged with arson and misdemeanor animal cruelty for shooting her show horse to death, burning a barn in May with the animal inside and insurance fraud for attempting to collect $100,000 in insurance on the horse named Abby.
Flomaton Police Chief Mike Lambert says she has admitted both incidents. Gradia also collected $30,000 in insurance in December on after she reported that another horse had died of a snake bite. Investigators are now looking into that case
Reminder: the location is for the school. The case is in Alabama where she lives. A press conference is scheduled for this afternoon in Flomaton.
