SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two attorneys whose dogs mauled a woman to death outside her apartment have been charged with the fatal attack, capping a bizarre day for the suspects.

Marjorie Knoller and her husband, Robert Noel, were arrested Tuesday night at a home in Corning, about 170 miles northeast of San Francisco. They earlier had testified in front of the San Francisco grand jury that brought the indictment.

Knoller, 45, who was present at the time of the dog attack, was charged with second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and keeping a mischievous dog that caused a person's death. Noel, 59, also was charged with involuntary manslaughter and keeping a mischievous dog.

They were to be arraigned and returned to San Francisco within the next few days, District Attorney Terence Hallinan said.

During her grand jury testimony Tuesday, Knoller suffered an anxiety attack and needed the assistance of paramedics.

A short time later, Noel was stopped by California Highway Patrol officers near Woodland — about 95 miles northeast of San Francisco — and cited for exceeding 85 mph in a 65 mph zone. The two were arrested a few hours later in Corning.

Hallinan declined to say if the couple was fleeing.

Knoller complained of chest pains at the time of her arrest. She was treated at a local hospital and released before being taken to jail.

Knoller and Noel were caring for the two Presa Canario-mastiffs when the dogs attacked St. Mary's College lacrosse coach Diane Whipple, 33, on Jan. 26. Both dogs outweighed Whipple, who was 110 pounds.

The animals have been linked to a dogfighting ring run out of Pelican Bay State Prison by two inmates. They were raised to fight other dogs and guard illegal drug labs, prison officials said.

Noel was being held in lieu of $1 million bail, while Knoller was being held on $2 million.

Tehama County sheriff's Deputy Chris Smith said late Tuesday the couple were arranging to make bail. Until then, they were being held at the county jail.

The second-degree murder charge carries a possible sentence of 15 years to life in prison, Hallinan said.
