本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Prosecutors wrapped up testimony in a highly publicized dog-mauling trial Thursday by raising questions about the dog owners' concern for others when their pets killed a neighbor.

Prosecutors quoted a letter from Robert Noel wrote to his adopted son shortly after his dog, Bane, killed his 33-year-old neighbor, Diane Whipple, on January 26, 2001.

Noel wrote that animal-control officials who euthanized Bane would "have a fight on their hands" if they tried to put down Hera, like Bane a Presa Canario. Hera has since been euthanized.

"Neighbors be damned," Noel wrote. "My feelings about Presas haven't changed."

Noel is charged with involuntary manslaughter and keeping a mischievous animal that killed a human being. His wife, Marjorie Knoller -- who, unlike Noel, was at the scene when the dog mauled Whipple -- is being tried on those charges as well as second-degree murder.

Dr. Randall Lockwood, an animal behaviorist and vice president of the Humane Society of the United States, questioned why Knoller did not sustain more severe injuries in her efforts to protect Whipple from the animal. The defense claims Knoller put her body on top of Whipple's to protect her from the vicious attack.

Lockwood, citing his research and understanding of testimony, replied that the dog would have redirected its aggression to anyone -- even its owner -- who tried to get in the way of the attack. The injuries would have been more similar to those suffered by Whipple, who was bitten from her forehead to her ankles and whose trachea was crushed. She died of blood loss and asphyxiation.

Knoller had bruises on her wrists, breast, and shoulder and minor puncture wounds on her fingers, according to photographs taken after the mauling.

Under cross-examination, Lockwood conceded Knoller sustained her injuries because she tried to interfere with the attack. Defense attorney Nedra Ruiz also pointed out that there is no evidence to suggest the Presa Canario dogs were trained to fight.

Lockwood agreed but added: "You have to train these dogs not to fight because of their bloodline."

The court also heard from Sgt. Leslie Forrestal of the San Francisco Police Department, the first officer on the scene. She said Knoller appeared confused and scared in the moments following the attack but that her demeanor soon changed.

"She didn't appear to be dazed and confused 10 to 15 minutes later," Forrestal testified.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 枫下茶话 / 法律 / 位高手,兄弟今天不幸被房东的邻居的大狗咬伤,已经看过医生,我能够还要精神赔偿吗? --我想,我的权益我不能够丢。要是在国内,这狗肯定要被杀掉,但是这是加拿大... -- 我没法想办法杀掉狗。我想是否要请律师等。这里有律师吗?
    私了会有问题吗?一般会赔多少?望有经验的高手指教。
    • 我见到黄页封底的广告,如果你在别人家门口摔倒了等等,一定要联系他们。被狗咬了,可比摔个跟头还严重啊!
    • 咬得怎样?厉害吗?
    • 快找个律师问问去(中文黄页里应该有)。家庭医生的检查一般太简单,如果你真想搞大,让对方的保险公司出出血,有专门的私人诊所可以由专业人士检查。律师一般会告诉你怎么把事情搞得保险公司无法控制,无法收拾。:)
      嘿嘿,如果有戏,他们会帮你的。祝好运,有机会,回ROLIA汇报一下?
      • 重要的事情是立刻搞清楚那条狗有没有打预防针。小心得狂犬病!

    • call anomal control 416-395.7086 他们会告诉你该怎么办?最起码他们会把狗带走。
      • This is the most appropriate approach. Usually you can only get reimbursed your medical expenses and they'd take care of the dog, either put it down directly or raise an alert to the owner.
    • 赚大了
    • 下次再见到狗,俺就不怕了.
