It was a hate crime, what did you expect? ;-)
To: RikaStrom
I wondered that too. When I first heard they were guilty on manslaughter, I thought they were getting a pass on murder.
To: Recovering_Democrat
Los Angeles. The Court allowed a change of venue for this case.

keep in mind the victim was a Lesbian... had she not been, I wonder if the verdict would have been the same. Oh, for crying out loud, get a life. Where in the testimony or the law is there a basis for this kind of bigotry? Like I said earlier, if the victim were Gomer Pyle, this is a just outcome.

Exactly, those dogs were bred to be the perfect killing machine-I believe they are worse than pit bulls.

Holy cow!! Justice in a SAN FRANCISCO COURTROOM!! I'M STUNNED!!They moved the trial to Los Angeles. WAY too much publicity in the Bay Area...

Manslaughter as the product of negligence?
To: HamiltonJay
While I absolutely agree with these verdicts... keep in mind the victim was a Lesbian... had she not been, I wonder if the verdict would have been the same. I will admit that I found myself wondering how the libs, including the media, would line up in a case between a lesbian and a couple with a beastiality fetish - I imagine it was a tough choice. (Probably would have been easier for them if the victim had been straight).
As far as I am concerned, this case had to do with personal responsibility and the owners of the dogs should and have been held accountable for the actions of their pets.

To: RikaStrom
Manslaughter is what is called a "lesser included offense" to murder. The jury could have found not guilty on murder but guilty on manslaughter. Where they found guilty as to both, the murder conviction controls.
To: codebreaker
I grew up around large breed dogs. Even the most "friendly" large breed needs LOTS of training.
You can kick those little ankle biters off, but not 100lbers.
To: eddie willers
Broom handles and dropped soap coming right up.

Did she sic the dog on the victim, or did it just get away? Only she knows...
To: null and void
If I were Marjorie Knoller, I would have stood up and faced the jury and said..."AND OJ IS WALKING AROUND FREE" ?

No it wouldn't have, the gay lobby pushed the prosecution into going after the 2nd degree charge from what I heard.
To: misterman

To: Lizavetta

Apparently the cops have photos(?) or text but they were unable to get it admitted into the trial. DANG
