Prosecutors issued felony warrants for Kornberg and Myrvete, and the child was placed with Alameda County Child Protective Services. The dog, whose name is "Boston," was taken to the Alameda County Dog Shelter in Dublin, where it underwent home quarantine and was later released without any issues. On May 28, a public dog hearing was held in Pleasanton and a judge determined the dog to be vicious. Kornberg chose to send the dog to Ohio. In 2001, Diane Whipple, a lacrosse coach at St. Mary's College, was mauled to death in the hallway of her San Francisco apartment building by her neighbor's two Presa Canario dogs.

The log is public record and available for review. All persons are presumed innocent unless found guilty in a court of law. 9:01 a.m., police responded to breaking and entering on Appleton Street. Seven gold and diamond rings, a gold watch and a gold bracelet totaling $40,000 in value were stolen from the top of a woman's bedroom bureau following a visit by two men saying they represented a fence company. A heavyset white male in his late 40s went into the backyard with the woman and her son to discuss the possible job while his partner stayed in their black van. Both were talking on their cell phones the entire time.

$40k of jewelry stolen, dog bite: Arlington Police Log, June 12
Section 67-12 of the North Carolina General Statues imposes strict liability for any injury inflicted by a dog so long as all the following circumstances exist: The dog is at least six months old. The dog is running at large at nighttime. The dog is unaccompanied by the owner or his or her agent. Because this law only imposes strict liability under a very narrow set of circumstances, in all other dog bite and animal injury cases, typical rules of negligence apply. The owner is liable if he or she failed to act in a reasonable manner and but for that failure the injury would not have occurred. As such, this statute is substantially more favorable to dog owners than those of most other jurisdictions in the United States and dog bite victims and their attorneys must be prepared to meet the challenge.

Dog Bite Prevention Program At Griffin
For a dog bite victim to recover medical bills and pain and suffering damages as well as damages caused by scars from a bite, therefore, the person bitten needs only to establish: That the defendant is the owner of the dog; That the person bitten was in a public place (for example, a park when a dog is loose) or lawfully (not trespassing) on private property (including that of the dog owner); and That the dog actually bit the person alleging injury. Note, too, that because there is no requirement to show a dog's "previous viciousness", the first bite isn't free, so to speak, as is the law in some states. In the Aiges case, the plaintiff was bitten by the dog while bending over to pick up a napkin in her own living room (where on her body Ms. Aigis was bitten is unstated by the Court, however). The defendants in the case raised the defense that because Ms. Aiges was paid for taking care of their dog in her home while they were on vacation, she was, in essence, an independent contractor and the strict liability statute did not apply. The Appellate Court rejected this argument, and in interpreting the Statute quoted above, N.J.S.A. 4:19-16, stated: "Although we recognize that the plaintiff was paid a fee for caring for defendant's dog, her receipt of that fee alone is not dispositive of the independent contractor analysis....

A dog-bites-man story
Greenwald wrote that Snowden "lines the door of his hotel room with pillows to prevent eavesdropping" and that "he puts a large red hood over his head and laptop when entering his passwords to prevent any hidden cameras from detecting them." Greenwald said that "Snowden will go down in history as one of America's most consequential whistleblowers." I think he'll go down as a cross-dressing Little Red Riding Hood. Greenwald likens Snowden to Daniel Ellsberg, who revealed the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times and The Washington Post more than four decades ago. Not quite. The Pentagon Papers proved that a succession of U.S. presidents had lied about their intentions regarding Vietnam -- Lyndon Johnson above all. In 1964, he had campaigned against Barry Goldwater for the presidency as virtually the peace candidate while actually planning to widen the war. As the Times put in a 1996 story, the Pentagon Papers "demonstrated, among other things, that the Johnson administration had systematically lied, not only to the public but also to Congress, about a subject of transcendent national interest and significance." In contrast, no one lied about the various programs disclosed last week. They were secret, yes, but members of Congress were informed — and they approved.
