2013, when she was attacked and killed by four of Alex Donald Jackson’s Pit bulls.
Jackson was found guilty of second degree murder, cultivating marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and possession of a controlled substance, psilocybin. The allegation that Jackson was armed with a shotgun during the commission of the offense also was found to be true.
Sentencing in the case has been scheduled for October 3rd at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, Antelope Valley Branch. Jackson will face 24 years to life in state prison. Evidence shown at trial proved that other victims had also been attacked by Jackson’s pit bulls on several occasions.
