Today we're talking to Holly Simon of Lawrence and Louise about a tragic pit bull attack that left her beloved cow Maple dead and the city corruption that unraveled following the incident. Holly shares the harrowing story of finding Maple dead in a lake and seeing the dogs run off, as well as the dog owners' refusal to take responsibility. Now, thanks to corrupt city prosecutor Rita Watkins, they continue to go unpunished, and one of their deadly dogs is still free to continue to terrorize their neighborhood. We take a look at why this is not an isolated incident when it comes to pit bulls and give you the opportunity to help this family seek justice not just for themselves, but for their community.
