Episode description

This week, Drewby and Yergy travel to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium to discuss the case of Maddox Derkosh, a toddler who, while on a trip with his parents, fell into the African Painted Dogs enclosure after being boosted up by his mother, Elizabeth, for a better view. Maddox was killed after 11 of the dogs eviscerated him. What happened next was a legal battle between the Zoo and the Derkosh family over who actually was at fault for the incident.
