Overview
- In court, Crystal MacDonald said she sought trainers and had a neutering appointment planned for the more aggressive dog before the April 2024 mauling.
- Wesley Grist, who testified Thursday, recounted finding his 11-year-old son, Kache, on the kitchen floor and punching and kicking the dogs to pull him away.
- Security video shown Wednesday captured Kache playing outside earlier that day and later showed his father distraught in the driveway after discovering his son.
- Testimony detailed prior incidents, including a February 2024 mauling that left a woman with three broken ribs and a punctured lung, a basement tenant’s injuries in December 2023, and the killing of a cat and a Pomeranian months before.
- An autopsy found Kache died from a neck bite, the two large Cane Corsos were euthanized, and the criminal negligence trial is continuing as the Crown argues the fatal risk was foreseeable.
