Costello, a mother-of-three from Ferndown, pleaded guilty to being the person in charge of a dangerously out of control dog causing injury.
District Judge Orla Austin gave Costello a 12-week suspended prison sentence and ordered her to pay £85 costs and £154 victim surcharge.
Despite pleas by Ms Costello to spare her dog Frank's life, Judge Austin ruled that it was a dangerous dog who posed a risk to the public and made a destruction order.
And since she didn't get any, the victim didn't get justice. Which is becoming a very common thing these days.
What it needs is for the victim to sue the arse off the owner for loss of earning etc. That way, dumb arse Costello might realise there are repercussions for being a useless waste of space.

ReplyDeleteMost of these people aren't worth suing, as any good lawyer will tell the victim.
