The Daily Ardmoreite reports that a Carter County jury deliberated three hours before returning the verdict. Formal sentencing is scheduled for next month for Rickey Lynn Grant and Lisa Kay Bloxham-Grant, both age 40.
The jury recommended Grant and his wife each pay a $5,000 fine.
[The hell with the $10,000 in fines! How are these idiots, who don't appear to have two nickels to rub together, supposed to come up with 10,000 dollars?
Here are some better ideas: Ban them from EVER owning another dog for the rest of their lives. Order them to visit the grave of Virgil Cantrell every year on the date of his death for the rest of their lives.]

The April 22 attack occurred when the couple wasn't home and with the dog chained to the porch of their home. Virgil A. Cantrell suffered severed arteries and broken bones, including a vertebra in his neck.
Deputies had to shoot the dog because it wouldn't let rescuers near Cantrell.
