The Lillian Stiles case (Texas v. Hernandez)
In November 2005, Lillian Stiles, 76, was mauled to death by a pack of dogs. The grand jury indicted their owner, Jose Hernandez, for criminally negligent homicide, but the trial jury found Hernandez not guilty. The case raises a common and troubling issue: when a dog kills, is its owner guilty of murder?
