The trial date for a Tehachapi woman accused of animal cruelty has been set.
A judge decided the trial for the woman who calls herself Anita Gilbert will begin on Dec. 22.
Wednesday Gilbert went before a judge in Mojave to face charges she threatened her attorney.
Animal control officers raided the woman's Tehachapi home in July. They say they and found at least 60 neglected pets and 14 dead animals in a freezer.
Officers picked her up last week on an outstanding warrant in Van Nuys, after she allegedly skipped out on a previous court appearance.
