Man gets 21 years in jail for attacking Lady Gaga's dog walker

One of the three men, who were involved in attacking pop singer Lady Gaga's dog walker, has been sentenced to 21 years in state prison, officials from the Los Angeles County District Attorney have informed. The attack took place last year in Hollywood during the theft of Lady Gaga's two French bulldogs.

The attacker has been identified as James Howard Jackson. Jackson along with two others attacked Ryan Fischer (Lady Gaga's dog walker). It is believed that the motive of the crime was the robbery of French bulldogs, whose worth is estimated to millions of dollars.

The attacker, James Howard Jackson, pleaded that his aim was not to murder anyone and also “admitted the allegation of inflicting great bodily injury and to a prior strike” according to a statement from the district attorney's office, as a part of a settlement.


“The plea agreement holds Jackson accountable for perpetrating a coldhearted violent act and provides justice for our victim,” the office said in a statement.



The pop singer's dog walker sustained injuries and recounted the attack as a "close call with death". If local media is to be believed, the victim sustaining the injuries attended the court hearing and gave a statement against Jackson saying that the attack has massively impacted his life.

Lady Gaga's third dog escaped the attack. Meanwhile, the pop singer offered a $500,000 (around €476,000) reward for the person, who would return the two dogs.
