 | | Superior Court Judge James Warren also sentenced Knoller's husband, Robert Noel, to four years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, after denying the couple's request that they be given a new trial on that charge in the death of their neighbor Diane Whipple. |
 | | The judge said Noel was more culpable than his wife in the death of the 33-year-old Whipple, a lacrosse coach at St. Mary's College, because he had left the dogs with his wife knowing she couldn't handle the 120-pound animals. |
 | | He referred to media interviews in which the defendants did not apologize and appeared to blame Whipple in the mauling, saying she wore a perfume that attracted the dogs, engaged in aggressive behavior and could have simply closed her door to stop the mauling. |
