BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- The lawyer for a Brevard County woman accused of starving her dog to death says he won't be available for a trial because he's going hunting.Defense attorney Andrew Stine announced his hunting trip in front of a group of animal rights activists Wednesday.His client, Christine Abrams, is awaiting trial on misdemeanor animal cruelty charges for abandoning and starving her three-legged German shepherd."One theory at trial, and one on appeal, might be that somebody else may have been responsible for the death of this animal," Stine said in court.The judge hasn't ruled on a motion Wednesday to throw out evidence from the home, because police didn't have a warrant.No trial date has been set, because the lawyer said he'll be hunting in November and December.
