Woman pleads not guilty after leaving her dog to starve to death

We were talking earlier about if homeowners facing foreclosure were guilty of animal cruelty if they left their pets behind...

A woman living near Orlando this week entered a not guilty plea to animal cruelty charges for leaving her 2-year-old German shepherd, Ella, locked in a crate after she moved out of the house. Christine Dawn Abrams, 29, told investigators she knew the dog eventually would starve to death. Ella was found dead in her crate, two months after Abrams had gone, by neighbors who saw the dog when they peeked in the window.

Abrams faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
But she was NOT facing foreclosure. She moved after her water had been turned off.
