Chris Brown Hit with $13M Verdict in Housekeeper Dog Attack Trial | True Crime News
In December 2020, a 200-pound guard dog attacked housekeeper Maria Avila at singer Chris Brown's Los Angeles home, leaving her permanently disfigured and unable to return to work. This week, more than five years later, a Los Angeles jury ordered Brown to pay her and her family more than $13 million in a civil verdict — after hearing that when Maria lay bleeding on the ground, Brown left the scene without calling 911. Vanessa walks you through the attack, the trial, and where this fits into a legal history that stretches back more than fifteen years.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
