These dogs ripped this woman’s arm off
Yes, I know.
Some of the trends in how we deal with crimes trouble me, though. To me, murder is when you stick a gun to someone's head and pull the trigger, or stick a knife in them and kill them, or actually ORDER your dogs to attack someone with the intent of killing the person.
In other words, murder involves an intent to take the life of another person.
I would have a hard time convicting for murder here. I don't think the guy should remotely get off. I'm in favor of something like 25 years in prison. But I think murder is questionable, without the intent to take a life.
