The trial began last Tuesday in Soissons, a city in northern France. The prosecution argues that the man allowed the young woman to walk the animal, named Curtis, alone in the forest, despite the fact that it posed a danger to her.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cI lost my wife, I lost my son\u201d<\/strong>, declared the accused before the court, where he also denounced \u201c<strong>numerous inconsistencies<\/strong>\u201d in the investigation. According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the judge presiding over the case pointed out that the defendant had barely been seen with the dog.<\/p>\n\n\nDuring the trial, he was also accused of having illegally imported Curtis from the Netherlands and of lying about his breed. He presented him as a whippet and griffon cross, but a subsequent veterinary examination determined that he was an American pit bull terrier, whose acquisition is prohibited in France.\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>You can also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/internacionales\/revelaron-la-identidad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">They revealed the identity of the Frenchman accused of abuse<\/a><\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\nAccording to court documents, the defendant will also have to answer for having subjected the dog to a &#8220;<strong>bite training<\/strong>&#8220;, a practice prohibited in the country, since, if not done correctly, it can cause the animal to lose its inhibition when biting. Likewise, the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office underlines the man&#8217;s recklessness in allowing his partner, who is 1.52 meters tall and weighs 56 kilos, to walk a dog of great physical power alone.\n\nThe defendant arrived at the scene before the police and, at first, attributed the attack to a pack of hunting dogs. However, the DNA analyses and the multiple bites found on the victim&#8217;s body, neck, and head matched those of the pitbull.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 51-year-old French man is facing a trial for involuntary manslaughter following his pit bull&#8217;s attack on his partner, a 29-year-old woman who was six months pregnant.
