Detroit man facing life in prison after his dogs mauled 9-year-old girl to death

A preliminary hearing was held in the case of a dog owner whose pitbulls mauled a 9-year-old girl to death in August. Pierre Cleveland, a 33-year-old Detroit man is charged with second-degree murder after three of his four pitbulls escaped a flimsy fence Aug. 19, and mauled Emma Hernandez. Text messages show Cleveland beat his dogs and one of them was violent and the leader. The judge sided with the prosecution and Cleveland's case will go to trial, where he faces life in prison.
