Pit Bull Kills Baby By Ripping Open Skull, Parents Charged

Royal Bates was six months old in April 2024 when his family's pit bull, Kilo, attacked him in the family's home in Marion, Ohio. Prosecutors say Kilo killed Royal by ripping open his skull. Now, nearly a year later, a grand jury has indicted Royal's parents, Blake Bates and Alyssa Smith, on a long list of charges including involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy goes over the case in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.
