## Resource

A 46-year-old woman, Crystal Jean MacDonald, has been sentenced to house arrest after her two Cane Corsos fatally attacked and killed an 11-year-old boy, Kache Grist, in April 2024. The dogs, with a history of aggression—including killing two pets and injuring three people, including MacDonald—were reportedly dangerous, yet she didn’t have them euthanized. Prosecutors sought five years in prison, but the judge sided with the defense, opting for a conditional sentence with strict home confinement and a lifetime ban on owning dogs, though she may apply for pets after eight years. Kache’s father, MacDonald’s roommate, defended her, saying she didn’t deserve jail time. MacDonald has moved to British Columbia to escape the fallout and is now appealing her conviction.
