In January of 2015, Cody, who played for the Baltimore Ravens from 2010 to 2014, brought his Canary Mastiff, Taz, to the vet. The dog was severely emaciated and underweight by about 50 pounds and died hours later, prosecutor Adam Lippe tells PEOPLE.
While Cody was convicted of misdemeanor neglect charges in last November’s bench trial, he was acquitted of two felony counts of animal cruelty. (Cody’s girlfriend, Kourtney J. Kelley, was also found guilty of neglect charges in November and sentenced to 60 days in prison.) For a felony conviction, prosecutors would have had to prove Cody tortured Taz intentionally, Lippe says.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Judge Judith C. Ensor said in November she did not think Cody intentionally tortured the dog and she reiterated her belief last Thursday.
But prosecutors believe Cody starved Taz intentionally, which was tantamount to torture. Lippe says that Cody didn’t feed Taz “a minimum of four weeks, up to ten,” during which Taz went without food.
