Owner of Killer Pit Bulls Convicted of Murder

A California dog owner whose four pit bulls mauled and killed a 63-year-old woman near her home last year was convicted of second-degree murder Friday. Alex Donald Jackson, 31, faces 24 years to life when sentenced in October for the death of Pamela Devitt, who was attacked by the dogs while taking a walk in Littlerock. She suffered up to 200 puncture wounds and died of blood loss. Prosecutes said Jackson's dogs menaced or bit nine people in the nine months preceding the fatal attack. "This defendant knew how dangerous these dogs were, and he didn't do anything about it," Deputy District Attorney Ryan Williams said.
