Judge sentences couple in fatal dog attack

226th District Court Judge Velia Meza sentenced Christian Moreno to 18 years in prison and Abilene Schnieder was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a dog attack that killed an elderly man.

Dog owners must be held accountable for their dog's actions against other citizens.

He got 18 years...she got 15 years...neither one flinched. I hope they realize they are being sentenced in *people* years, not dog years.

[defface]

"San Antonio police had been called to the Moreno and Schnieder’s home more than 100 times in two years for various disturbances" WTF!!!

The two of them show NO REMORSE. Their children might have a better life without those two miscreatents.

I've been waiting for this verdict. This poor woman watched her husband being killed by these vicious animals and survived the attack herself. The owners knew the dogs were dangerous and even paid hefty fines to get them released from previous attacks. These appear to be fight dogs and the couple was breeding more. They not only showed no remorse they laughed during the trial. San Antonio is about to pay big for their negligence.

This case is groundbreaking .... so tired of dog owners who have dangerous dogs and take NO responsibility 😮😮😮

If your dog is aggressive you shouldn’t have it. There is no place in our society for negligent dog owners.

Good for the judge for calling out the city ignoring this and keeping everyone in danger.

[DREAMCATCHER]

Not only were they horrible dog owners they were horrible parents. Glad the kids are away from these 2.

[mykidsaresupercute]

A couple of psychopaths. They don't care.

[usernameisjonah]

Judge should add 15 years more for that disrespect

[MariaHernandez-jdbi]

They don't even care. They showed no remorse.

[mtboystuu]

This judge is a rarity! We NEED more like her in our justice system

[towritemichelle]

That neighborhood should have never been terrorized. Excellent work Judge!!

[therealsedna]

Why aren’t more irresponsible dog owners jailed???

[marcy]

My heart goes out to this poor lady, I hope those two never get parole.

[mandibees]

THANK YOU TO THE JUDGE FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW SERIOUS THIS IS.

[SS]

[pullnonyou]

[crissyd]
