Gunman in Lady Gaga dog robbery jailed for 21 years

AFP :
A man who shot Lady Gaga’s dog-walker
during an attempt to steal the singer’s prize French bulldogs was
sentenced to 21 years
in prison Monday after pleading no contest to attempted murder.
James Howard Jackson and two other men attacked Ryan Fischer on a Hollywood street in February 2021, and after a struggle made off with two of the ‘Poker Face’ singer’s three pets that were out for a walk.
Fischer sustained chest injuries in the attack
and said on Instagram a month later he had
suffered a collapsed lung. Jackson, 20, entered the no-contest plea after prosecutors agreed to drop further robbery, assault and other charges.
“The plea agreement holds Jackson accountable for perpetrating
a cold-hearted violent act and provides justice for our victim,” said a statement from the District Attorney’s Office. The two other assailants have already been jailed for their parts in the crime.
Following the
incident, Lady Gaga offered a USD 500,000 reward for the return of dogs Koji and Gustav.
