It wasn&#8217;t immediately clear if he would take the deal.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, Mosley killed a cat in a ritualistic sacrifice and boasted about it on social media. The post gained traction with animal activists who called for his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Mosley was charged with criminal mischief, aggravated cruelty to animals and torturing and injuring animals.<\/p>\n<p>Activists outside Bronx Criminal Court held signs, chanted and banged on the window as Mosley went through security there. He was escorted inside by five police officers.<\/p>\n<p>In court, Mosley agreed to continue attending his mental health appointments.
