Authorities say 7-month-old Annabelle Mitchell was fatally mauled by the family’s Rottweiler in the living room of their home in April 2011 while Mitchell was drunk and passed out on a couch. The baby’s father was not home. The dog was later euthanized.
Mitchell’s bail was revoked in December when she was arrested on drunken driving charges.
