...between leftist guerrillas and right-wing paramilitary groups that has killed 40,000 in the last decade, by two gunmen outside a church; in Cali. Working from the birthplace of Colombia's most powerful cocaine cartels, Cancino was outspoken in his fights against violence, drugs and poverty. CONVICTED. MARJORIE KNOLLER, 46, on five charges, including second-degree murder and manslaughter, for not stopping her two, 54-kg Presa Canario dogs from attacking and killing 33-year-old Diane Whipple outside the victim's San Francisco home; in Los Angeles.

In January two attack dogs in Knoller and Noel's care mauled a neighbor to a grisly death in the hallway of the couple's apartment building.
