My guess is the dog entered the fray after the humans began fighting.
The sparks of the altercation can be seen in the Waterfall video, from just a few minutes before everyone converged atvFairview.
Chloe, the Germ Shepherd/Mix with history of aggressive behaviors towards “strangers and other dogs” may have just been let out to pee/poop, drunk owners could have forgot they let her out so Chloe came up to door to get let in, nobody did so she laid down at foot of door, John, potentially a “stranger” in Chloe’s orbit per numerous witness statements that John had not been to residence before this night which would lead a reasonable person to beleive John and Cleo are unfamiliar with each other….John being intoxicated, stumbles up steps, startles or possibly even accidentally stepped on tail/paw etc of sleeping Chloe , K9 defense and prey drive kick in , Chloe , by her very nature as a germ Shep, is highly territorial (most dogs are to some level) she attacks John, John slips, falls trying to get away and hits head, Cloe still grabbing and biting arm area , John takes off running through yard drunk, dazed, potentially bad injury to head , and runs towards a Lexus SUV that’s now driving off down street, John gets close enough to Karen who’s operating that SUV , she can’t see or hear John running towards her , John takes glass he was carrying with some drink in it and throws is at SUV to get her attention, glass hits the tail light , cracks it and shatters glass…John struggling , injured body collapses in his final, unfortunate resting place in yard near flag pole….
Reasonable Doubt has clearly been established that this theory is a very reasonable possibility and doesn’t go against a reasonable, logical human beings ability of processing /eliminating other factors that contradict what the state is attempting to prove BEYOND ANY AND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT, which is needed to convict
1. Dog owners are just as responsible and liable for their dogs and can be held to same accountability as that same owner having a gun in house and a child gets ahold of it….criminally/civilly liable . This theory provides room for any reasonable person to question the true motive behind “re homing “ or “getting rid of” a family dog they have owned for “6-7 ywars “ within days of this incident
