On Sept. 17, a jury awarded a little more than $7 million to the family of a boy who was killed when he was attacked by two dogs while riding his skateboard. In 2009, Justin Clinton was riding his skateboard past the rear of a home owned by Ricky and Christy George when he was attacked by their dogs, a pit bull mix and an American bulldog. His attorneys argued the Georges were aware that they had previously attacked people and the fence in their yard was poorly maintained. Plaintiffs’ counsel said Clinton was conscious for five to 15 minutes during the attack and bled to death 30 to 45 minutes later from multiple bites to his head, neck, torso and legs.
