This is the one where the owner of a beautiful
white German Shepherd named Ella, left her dog to die of
starvation in her vacant apartment when she
moved out. Her defense...her new roommate did
not like dogs! Hey too bad! You find another home
for it moron! I'm tired of seeing animals left behind
because of YOUR irresponsibility and living situation...try NOT being a pet owner in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!! They'd
be far better off!!!!!!!
If you are not familiar to this case and are an
animal lover, you might not want to read on, if
you are then you know the rage you felt
when you first heard of it.
Now, I'm not going to swear, cuss and moan
here but, this case lit me up like a dried out
Christmas Tree with too many bulbs on it!!!!
According to the report, Ms. Abrams was kind
enough to leave food and water three feet
away from the cage that the dog was locked up in.
When they found the poor girl, it was dead,
arms extended out of the cage apparently reaching
for the food and water in a desperate attempt
to save it's own life!
The case is so ridiculously un-defendable
that she even lost her attorney over it...
July 9, 2008, "The animal cruelty case against Christine Abrams -- the central
Florida woman accused of starving her dog Ella to death by leaving her
behind, locked in her crate, when she moved -- is far from over. During
today's hearing (Wednesday, July 9), defense attorney Andrew Stine
asked the Brevard County judge to withdraw, saying she signed an order
involving the case without his knowledge.
Stine earlier tried to have the case thrown out of court based
on police procedure, saying the officers who entered Abrams' house did
not have a warrant. Neighbors had called police about two months after
Abrams had moved out, after noticing a foul odor coming from the house.
Looking through a window, they saw Ella's dead body still locked in the
crate. Abrams later said she left the dog behind because her new
roommate did not like pets.
Here was the story filed earlier today by Orlando Sentinel reporter Laurin Sellers:
VIERA — A hearing in Christine Abrams’ animal-cruelty case ended
abruptly Wednesday when her attorney asked Brevard County Judge Kelly
Jo McKibben to withdraw from the highly publicized case. McKibben
postponed the proceedings to give attorney Andrew Stine time to put his
request in writing.
It was uncertain when McKibben would respond, or when the hearing on a defense motion to toss out key evidence would resume.
Abrams, 30, is accused of moving out of her Cocoa home late last
year and leaving her dog, Ella, to die in a locked crate without food
or water. Police found the dead dog in March after neighbors smelled a
foul odor. She is charged with two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty
and could face a year in the county jail and a $5,000 fine if
convicted.
During Wednesday’s hearing, Stine said McKibben spoke Tuesday with
Brevard Assistant State Attorney Michael Raska and signed an order
without the defense attorney’s knowledge. Raska said he contacted the
judge about a mislabeled packet of case law he submitted during a
previous hearing.
"The defense is trying to play every trick in the book," said Holly
Gann, one of more than 60 animal lovers who packed into the courtroom.
"He has no case and he knows it."
Well, this case isn't over for this unconscionably
cruel idiot yet...she has a hearing in Viera on
October 28 at 9:00AM. I for one will be there
and hope to see this heartless stain go to jail for at
least 3 years. This to me is the animal equivalent
to Caylee Anthony as pictures were shown of the good
times the two had you know... the pictures where they
put their heads together in the pic and smile?
Unfortunately they actually found the body in this case.
I won't wish death or starvation unto Ms. Abrams as her beloved pet, even in her own death, wouldn't want to see that done to her because she would still unconditionally
love her. BTW...I'm pi$$ed at the neighbors for not
hearing this dog struggle to death. The only time
they called authorities was when they smelled a
foul odor eminating from the apartment...Brain Dead
Buffoons! I'm sure they heard the poor animal
screaming in agony!
Received this email just a while ago...sounds really bad!

ABOUT AREA CODE
We actually received a call last week from the 809 area code. The woman said 'Hey, this is Karen. Sorry
I missed you--get back to us quickly. I Have something important to tell you.'
Then she repeated a phone number beg inning with 809 . 'We didn't respond'.
Then this week, we received the following e-mail:
Subject: DONT DIAL AREA CODE 809 , 284 AND 876
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T DIAL AREA
CODE 809
This one is being distributed all over the US . This is pretty scary,
especially given the way they try to get you to call.
Be
sure you read this and pass it on.
They get you to call by telling you that it is information about a family
member who has been ill or to tell you someone has-been arrested, died, or to
let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc.
In each case, you are told to call the 809
number right away. Since there are so many new area codes these days, people
unknowingly return these calls.
If you call from the US
, you will apparently be charged $2425
per-minute.
Or, you'll get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you
on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges. Unfortunately, when
you get your phone bill, you'll often be charged more than $24,100.00
WHY IT WORKS:
The 809 area code is located
in the British Virgin Islands (The Bahamas). the dominican actually
The
charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That's because you did actually
make the call. If you complain, both your local phone company and your long
distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you
that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end
up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.
Please forward this entire message to your friends, family and colleagues to
help them become aware of this scam
