The SPCA is now investigating how the pit bull terrier was destroyed without receiving a fair trial. A Manurewa P-dealer has also laid a complaint, claiming he was unfairly linked to the deceased pit bull.

Spinner can reveal the costs of the case were not only felt by genuine rape victims, innocent pit bulls and P-dealers, but also by the taxpayer. Almost $60,000 was spent on a police investigation totalling 400 man-hours, 191 pizzas and 213 Big Mac Combos.

The charge of making a false statement carries a penalty of three months in prison or a fine of up to $2,000. Any pit bulls convicted of taking P may be fined up to eight cans of Champ and impounded for up to two months.
