A COURT will rule on whether an XL Bully that injured a person should be destroyed.

Emma Bradley, 47, was due to be sentenced by Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, April 2. 

She had previously indicated a guilty plea to a charge of being the owner or person in charge of dog dangerously out of control causing injury to the female victim.

On April 8 last year, an XL grey Bully named Biggie was dangerously out of control at an address in Thatto Heath and caused an injury to a female.

Bradley's sentencing was, however, adjourned by district judge Boswell.

This was due to a contested destruction order application being made. 

Bradley, of Thomas Drive, Liverpool, will appear back at the court to be sentenced on Tuesday, May 20.

She was remanded on unconditional bail until then.
