And first, I apologize for all the posts on end, but I was trying to address a specific point with each one.
Second, for those who tried to say this isn't a Nancy Grace issue, in fact, this thread was started to talk about how much of an ingorant bigot this lady is, so in truth, it got off topic by talking about other things such as BSL & death to all "pit bulls."
Third, I would like to say that I am NOT defending these 4 dogs in this scenario. But here's what I would like to say on this whole incident (I wrote this on another forum & crossposted here):
Of course I strongly believe there is more to the story & we will never know the truth.
But here are some of my thoughts:
First off, although I don't live in a trailer, I have been in several & friends who live in them & I can tell you that every little sound made is heard from room to room. They are not soundproof in the least (especially the older ones like the one in which this took place). So if the father was standing just outside like he claimed to have been, how in the hell did he not hear anything? How did he miss the screams, yells, & cries that you know his son was putting out? How did he not hear any bumps or thuds that would come from a bunch of dogs dragging a nearly 2yr old boy out of a bedroom, down the way, & into the kitchen? How did he not hear any barking or growling? Hell, I live in a 1700 sq. ft. house, & I can hear my son crying in the living room (which is on the backside of the house), when I am standing in the front yard talking to a neighbor. And when my dogs are on a raccoon, oppossum, or even a field mouse, I hear the barking, yipping, & growling that goes on just from that one dog, not to mention all the others.
And then supposedly there was another person he was outside talking to. You mean to tell me this person didn't hear a thing either?
And what about the fact that the father stated that he never let/lets the dogs inside, but yet in just this one "coincidental" tragedy, he lets them all inside, together & loose, & then just walks outside & shuts the door behind him?
And also when the police arrived, they expected a pack of angry, aggressive dogs yet they were met with a pack of "happy" dogs with wagging tails. Even the vet said they seemed "friendly" & made no aggressive maneuvers or growls. Now, don't get me wrong here....those dogs did something to that child & I'm NOT defending them (I would've killed them with my bare hands if one had attacked my child), but I find it strange nonetheless.
It's just all way to suspicious to me. And not to mention that either the media never got all their facts together (do they ever?), or the father changed his story, because I've read many different articles on it & some said the father was outside getting groceries from the car & was only gone a few seconds, another said he was outside talking to his landlord for only 5 minutes, & yet the latest is that he was outside talking to his boss for 10 minutes. So what is the truth?
And I sure as hell hope they do a THOROUGH autopsy on this child, as I truly wonder about the father's involvement in this whole scenario....more than just the leaving a pack of dogs loose around a 22 month old baby.
