How’d that turn out?

A dog is not regarded as a murder weapon at this time, no.

Interesting timing of this article, however:

Parole hearing this month for man convicted of using dog to kill Arizona woman in Cleveland
“Jeffrey Mann was the first person to ever be tried and convicted of using a dog as a murder weapon”

As I was reading it the thought crossed my mind that the husband should have been shot by police as well. I am sure many would say that would not have been justified, maybe not legally but to me it sure would have been. If anyone ever qualified under the “needed killing” category it would be this guy.

I see. It appears that you may be a Texan at heart.

since a dog is not regarded as a murder weapon, if the dog had killed her, he would have committed the perfect murder right in front of the cops... its a slippery slope to classify a dog as a murder weapon.. will it be based on size, breed( here come the bleeding heart pit owners) or can any dog be a murder weapon?
Too many challenges to any broad law you want to pass.
The laws in this country are getting as contrived as old jewish laws, and the last guy to stand up and say “enough LAW! -you follow the law but your hearts are still black” ... well, they killed that guy.. i paraphrased a bit ..
