A Deadly Pit Bull Attack and Its Aftermath


Listen Later

A tragic case in Cochise County remains stuck in legal limbo. In June 2023, 84-year-old Helene Jackson was mauled and killed by a pit bull with a known history of aggression. Now, her family is suing the city, arguing that officials failed to enforce animal control policies that could have prevented her death. But nearly two months have passed without a ruling on the city's motion to dismiss the case, as judge after judge steps aside. Meanwhile, the dog’s owners have already faced criminal charges—but the civil lawsuit raises deeper questions about accountability and systemic failures.
