Yes, They Are Always 'Soft And Lovely'...

In court Miss Dine, of Rowan Court, Penrith, told Judge Chalk: "Jerry has never shown any aggression before.
"He's the softest, loveliest dog.
"I have pictures of him around kids. I'm the parent of a six year old child and I'd never let a dangerous dog near her."
...right up until the moment they attack.
Judge Chalk said that he would make a destruction order because he had seen no evidence during the hearing to convince him that Jerry was not a danger to the public.
And the typical chav owner is aghast:
After the case, Miss Dine said she would do all she could to save her dog, which originally came from a rescue centre.
She added: "I'm devastated.
"They shouldn't kill a dog without looking at other ways to deal with it. They could say that she should always be muzzled when he's outside.
"I'm going to fight it. Jerry isn't dangerous."
Really? Tell that to the newspaper's comment section:


That paints a quite different picture, doesn't it?

.... and no one is bothered to investigate this major lapse in the presentation of a case in Court?
If a simple case like this can be so screwed-up, what the Hell is happening to more serious cases?

It could be that it was mentioned, but the 'reporter' left it out? Frankly, either incompetence on the part of the journalists or court staff is equally likely..
