I previously wrote a threat about a dog bite and questioned whether or not I could be criminally charged. I received many replies all of which led me to believe that they probably couldn't or wouldn't. The update is I have now been charged and I'm wondering where do I look for specific case law...

The dog has been given up to be put to sleep after it's quarantine. Not an easy thing to do especially considering the dog was put away. I do however agree with his fate.

Neither myself nor my roommates had invited anyone over. She was gone and I was leaving.

The mother of the girl that was bit had an open DUI case where her kids were in the car that's why a social worker got involved. As for who let the dogs out of the house I do not know who it was and no one has asked that as a pertinent question. The dog is part pitbull part Labrador or...

This happened in the state of South Dakota. I was pulled over for mistaken identity and my public defender before having ever talked to me or even having gotten discovery left me a message stating he believed he can get me a deal for probation. I live in the state of Washington not South...
