Overview
- A judge delayed the trial tied to the death of 8-year-old Michael Millett until March after a Tuesday hearing.
- The dogs’ owners, Amanda Franco and Brandi (also reported as Brandy) Hodil, are charged with felony tampering with evidence, and Franco also faces a second-degree misdemeanor.
- Investigators allege Franco deleted messages about her dog’s aggressive behavior and Hodil deleted messages about the dogs being loose the day of the attack.
- Prosecutors have filed additional materials, including neighbor audio statements and 17 Ring camera videos they say show the dogs roaming the neighborhood.
- The State Attorney’s Office reviewed the case and determined manslaughter could not be proven under the required culpable negligence standard.
