Bristol Woman Charged Over Teen’s Fatal XL Bully Attack Appears in Court

The case now moves to Crown Court with strict bail limits on the accused.

Overview

  • Kelcie Reed, 24, appeared at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, where she was charged with possessing a dog dangerously out of control causing death.
  • She did not enter a plea, and a judge set a Bristol Crown Court hearing for May 27.
  • Bail conditions bar her from owning or controlling any dog and from contacting the victim’s family.
  • The court was told the dog was an XL Bully named Prince that fatally injured 19-year-old Morgan Dorsett in Withywood on February 26, 2025.
  • This offense is dealt with at Crown Court after an initial magistrates’ hearing, which is why the case was quickly sent on.
