Knoller headed back to prison for 2001 San Francisco dog mauling death

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, 9-22-08

A judge denounced Marjorie Knoller today for indifference to the fate of a neighbor who was mauled to death by Knoller's dogs in a San Francisco apartment hallway and sentenced the former attorney to 15 years to life in prison for second-degree murder.

Superior Court Judge Charlotte Woolard, who had reinstated a jury's murder verdict for the January 2001 attack at a hearing last month, rejected a defense lawyer's request for probation today and said the horrific circumstances of the crime far outweighed Knoller's previous crime-free record.

Woolard said Knoller had not bothered to put a muzzle on her aggressive 140-pound dog before taking him out of the apartment and did not call for help, retrieve a weapon or dial 911 while the animal was mauling Diane Whipple for at least 10 minutes.

Knoller "left Ms. Whipple in the hallway to die alone," the judge said. She said Knoller lied repeatedly in grand jury and trial testimony, has never expressed remorse, and "blamed the victim" in a television interview after the attack.
