Guilty plea for cat killings

A graphic designer accused of surreptitiously killing a series of his girlfriend's cats pleaded guilty yesterday to aggravated animal cruelty, ending an eerie case in which authorities said the unsuspecting woman kept replacing her dying pets.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus adjourned Sean Lynde's case in contemplation of dismissal, meaning it's set to be closed without jail time or probation if he meets a series of conditions.
