I'd say she got some of what she deserved. Ky. Woman Gets 20 Years for Siccing Pit Bull on Man, Killing Him
A spokesperson for the Rockcastle County Circuit Court Clerk tells PEOPLE that Melissa Wolke, 40, agreed in October to plead guilty to murder in connection with the Jan. 10, 2020, death of 55-year-old Donald Abner.
That day, police received a 911 call about a woman "jumping up and down" on a man and assaulting him while her pit bull mauled him, an arrest citation states, WKYT reported at the time.
She was handed a sentence of 20 years. I'm not sure what Kentucky does in a case like this, but in a lot of places, she might be eligible for release in about 10 years or so. Why not life without parole? Probably that is what she would have faced if it went to trial. Did the DA think he couldn't win because the weapon in question was a pit bull trained as a fighting dog? Or could he just not be bothered to bring this before a court?
I guess they have more important things to do.
