To steal a bit from the late, great Norm MacDonald, it's finally official – second-degree manslaughter is legal in the state of Oklahoma!
In what's considered a landmark verdict for people who want to own dangerous dogs, but face no criminal accountability when those dogs get loose and kill a person, a jury acquitted Antwon Burks yesterday of second-degree manslaughter charges after his dogs killed Cecille Short in April of 2017.
The jury did this despite there being a documented history of Burks' killer dogs – which he paid $8,000 for – escaping from his backyard and causing havoc in the neighborhood.
