A Texas couple whose pit bulls viciously mauled an elderly veteran to death will each spend nearly a decade behind bars for the unprovoked attack. Ramon Najera, 81, died when he was attacked by two dogs that had escaped their yard and charged at him and his 74-year-old wife, Juanita, in San Antonio.

State District Judge Velia Meza sentenced Christian Alexander Moreno to 18 years and fined him $5,000. The judge sentenced Abilene Schnieder to 15 years in prison and imposed the same fine.
