Woman avoids jail after XL bully killed her teenage cousin in Bristol
–
Neutral summary
Kelcie Reed, 24, has been handed an 18-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, at Bristol Crown Court for being in charge of an XL bully dog that fatally mauled her 19-year-old cousin Morgan Dorsett. The attack happened on February 26 last year at a flat on Cobhorn Drive in Withywood, Bristol, where Dorsett suffered fatal head and neck injuries; the dog, named Prince, was later euthanised. Reed pleaded guilty in May to being responsible for a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury resulting in death. Judge Anna Richardson acknowledged both the devastating impact on Dorsett's family and the profound effect the incident had on Reed.
