A sicko admitted he kicked his friend’s dog until it died then lit its dead body in the street — but was released from jail thanks to New York’s lax bail laws, Queens prosecutors said Wednesday.
Isaiah Gurley, 29, was cut loose on supervised release pending trial as he faces a slew of charges connected to the sickening animal abuse of a pit bull that he was dog-sitting.
Gurley, of Queens, told police after his arrest Monday he had been caring for the pooch for several days before he unleashed kicks on the canine until it stopped moving, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Post.
“I killed the dog by kicking it to death,” Gurley said, according to the complaint. “And I burned the dog’s body after it was already dead.”
Gurley was spotted allegedly hauling the pit bull into an Ozone Park street, where he poured accelerant on the animal and left the body to burn before dawn on Thursday.
Authorities found the charred remains on the dog lying on the street, according to the complaint.
During the investigation, cops tracked down surveillance footage of Gurley allegedly stealing a bottle of oil from a store that was used for crime, the complaint states. --->READ MORE HERE

Thanks to New York’s bail law, even the most cartoonishly villainous crimes don’t get you thrown behind bars.
The latest: Monday’s arrest of Isaiah Gurley, 29, on a laundry list of charges after he was allegedly caught on video dragging a dog into the street in Queens and setting it afire.
Gurley confessed to cops that he had kicked the poor pooch, which he was watching for a friend, to death before burning its body.
To add insult to injury, he allegedly shoplifted the oil he used to torch the hound.
Brutalizing any living creature so cruelly should guarantee reasonably high bail — an amount that recognizes that a perp willing to torture an animal in such a heinous and sadistic fashion is a threat to the general public.
Instead, Gurley got to walk free without putting up a dime, since none of his charges are bail-eligible under the 2019 “reforms.”
That’s right: New York’s legislators, in all their wisdom, have decided that aggravated animal cruelty, fifth-degree arson and reckless endangerment are not offenses worthy of bail. --->READ MORE HERE
