A Michigan man facing second-degree murder charges in connection with the dog-mauling death of a 9-year-old Detroit girl has had his bond substantially reduced from the initial $2 million to $20,000.

In a probable cause hearing on Friday, Aug. 30, Judge Michael Wagner reduced the bond of 33-year-old Pierre Cleveland, who faces charges of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and owning a dangerous animal causing death, the Detroit Free Press reported.
