WASHBURN - Former Washburn resident Kim Kingsley and his attorney requested a new judge in his animal cruelty case. Douglas County Court has assigned Judge Kelly Thimm to replace Barron County Judge Maureen Boyle. Kingsley, 73, faces four charges of mistreatment of animals causing death, 14 charges of intentionally mistreating animals, 20 charges of intentionally failing to provide food for an animal, and 20 charges relating to shelter for the horses. The mistreatment charges are Class 1 felonies, and the other charges are all Class A misdemeanors. During a previous court appearance, Judge Thimm found probably cause for the charges and a trial will now proceed. If convicted, Kingsley could be facing at least 50 years in prison.
