Domestic dispute leads to murder
From Staff Reports
A apparent domestic dispute led to murder in Effingham County Monday afternoon. Trish La Gallina, 1, was reportedly killed by her sister, Maggie The Dog, 8, after an altercation in the family’s back yard. Their father, Eddie C., found Trish’s broken body Tuesday morning.
“I looked out the back door and thought, ‘Oh shit! Those are chicken legs!'” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh no. I really don’t want to tell [their mother].'”

The pair’s mother, Beth C., appeared to be in a state of shock, and refused numerous interview requests.
This is not the first incident between Maggie and Trish. Eddie C. reported that Trish was the lone survivor of an attack by Maggie one year ago. That attack resulted in the deaths of three other poultry siblings. Maggie was convicted of those murders, and was sentenced to life in the detention facility of the gated back yard or inside the house. She also was ordered to stay at least 10 feet from Trish for the rest of her life.
Maggie apparently disregarded that restraining order when the side gate was left open by Eddie himself.
“I was working on the back door, and was going back and forth to the garage,” he said. “I didn’t know I had left it open. I felt horrible because I realized it was my fault.”
Murder suspect: Maggie The Dog
Unwitting accomplice: Eddie C.
Maggie was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with first-degree murder. Her brother, attorney Vince The Dog, said that Maggie will enter a plea of temporary insanity.
“Trish kept taunting her, clucking in that way of hers,” he said. “When Maggie saw that the gate was open, she just couldn’t help herself.”
Eddie said that his wife wants to adopt more chickens, but that it is too soon to make any concrete plans.
“There’s not going to be another chicken that smart,” he said.
A funeral service will be held at the family’s house March 3.
