MIAMI — A Florida teen no longer faces animal- cruelty charges in a string of cat killings, with prosecutors saying Wednesday that the defense showed some of the cats may have been killed by other animals.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office dropped the charges against 19-year-old Tyler Weinman, who had been under house arrest for nearly 18 months.
Veterinarians working with authorities concluded that 19 of 33 total cats found were killed by a human, but a forensic veterinarian hired by Weinman’s attorneys found puncture marks consistent with large animal bites on the eight cat carcasses that had been preserved.
