A grand jury indicted Frazier last week of two felony counts of animal cruelty. One is for unjustifiably killing her ex-husband's dog.
The other is for prematurely euthanizing a pit bull puppy. Frazier was even quoted saying she was just going to "stick" the dog because it wasn't worth the money.
The grand jury was not dismissed. If they have enough evidence, they could still charge Frazier with more crimes.
Frazier is facing up to eight years behind bars.
