DANBURY — A New York man who is accused of killing two pet German shepherds in Ridgefield last year had his case continued on Wednesday.
The last time Michael Konschak, 61, was in court, a judge denied his request for accelerated rehabilitation, a pretrial diversionary program that would have dismissed the charges if successfully completed.
In state Superior Court in Danbury Wednesday, Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Deborah Mabbet read into the record that the case was continued to May 23. Judge Charles M. Stango said in court that attorneys in the case are trying to get more information on the case before proceeding.

The Caviola family, who had owned German shepherds Cimo and Lieben since they were puppies, and representatives from Desmond’s Army Animal Law Advocates, an animal welfare organization, were in attendance Wednesday.
Erin Caviola said she is grateful for the outpouring of support. As the trial continues, her family is trying to remember their happy memories with their pets while fighting to get them justice.
