The Diane Whipple Murder

The Story Of Dianne Whipple

A young Lacrosse coach is torn to bits by two Presio Canario dogs in
a downtown San Francisco apartment building. The owners were convicted
of second degree murder, a sympathetic Judge overturned the verdict, and
they served two yrs. Now a superior court has reinstated the murder
conviction, and the attorney may have fled to Israel.

Appellate Court

A state lawyer asked the California Supreme Court Tuesday to
reinstate a second-degree murder conviction for a San Francisco
woman whose dogs fatally mauled a neighbor six years ago.

California DA Wants Justice

Deputy Attorney Amy Haddix told the panel at a hearing in San
Francisco that attorney Marjorie Knoller knew from previous
incidents that her two Presa Canario 140 pound guard dogs were
potential "killing machines."

Knoller's Attorney

Dennis Riordan, argued that even if the court concludes that
the original verdict was reached under the correct legal standard,
the case should be sent back to Superior Court Judge James Warren
for reconsideration.

Whipple Was Torn To Shreds

The dogs attacked while the owner stood there. They mauled
Whipple for over twenty minutes.

Dogs Weighed 140 Pounds

The dogs had been 'Sexually abuse' and were wild. The male
nuzzled Whipple's crotch, she push it away, and the dog
exploded.

Robert Noel One Of The Owners

A Jewish lawyer who was alleged to have 'Orally Copulated' the
dog, preparing it for his Yenta wife.

Marjorie Knoller Whose Lust Was Insatiable

She was alleged to have tasted forbidden fruit of sexual
intercourse with a beast.

Jim Hammer The Original Prosecutor

The original prosecutor, Jim Hammer, was also in court. He has
offered to retry the case from the beginning for no charge. He
felt the sexual abuse was what triggered the
attack.
