Ohio Dad Locked Up For Baby Pit Bull Killing

<p>Blake Bates has learned his sentence for his pit bull mix, Kilo, attacking and killing his six-month-old son, Royal, in April 2024. Bates had been warned by family members that the dog was aggressive and not fit to be around children. He'd also been cited after the dog tried to attack a child a year before Royal died. Bates was also sentenced on an escape charge and a strangulation charge involving Royal's mother, Alyssa Smith. Law&amp;Crime's Angenette Levy goes through the hearing and the new videos released in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.</p><p><strong>PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: </strong></p><p>Take your personal data back with Incogni!
