Michael Gordon charged with involuntary manslaughter

Just saw this evening that Michael Gordon, owner of the pit bulls that killed Makayla Woodard, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Per a Charlotte Observer article:

The owner of two pit bulls that mauled and killed a 5-year-old Waxhaw kindergartner two weeks ago was charged with involuntary manslaughter today.

Michael Brandon Gordon, 23, has been charged in connection with the death of Makayla Woodard.

I don't think this is particularly surprising; I wonder if it will last through a trial or plea.
