Zachary Gross, from Kentucky, was arrested for removing his ex-girlfriend’s scalp in 2015.

Yahoo News reports that his ex-girlfriend’s scalp was removed and one of her ears were mangled. Gross claims that the dog did it and says he’s innocent. When the judge spoke to Gross during his sentencing, he refused to listen.

Gross said to Judge Rick Bruggemann, “I don’t feel responsible. I maintain my innocence. It is what it is. I’m not asking for your mercy. Just give me the 20. I don’t need a lecture.” He was sentenced to 21 years.
