TAMPA --

A judge this morning rescheduled the trial for Dorice Donegan "Dee Dee" Moore, who is charged in the death of lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare.

Circuit Judge Ronald Ficarrotta granted a defense motion to move the trial from March 19 to July 16.

Moore is charged with first-degree murder and illegal wiretapping in the slaying of Shakespeare, a Lakeland man who won a $30 million lottery jackpot in November 2006.

Moore, who wept throughout a brief hearing Thursday morning, has been held without bail since her February 2010 arrest, initially on a charge of being an accessory after the fact to Shakespeare's slaying. A grand jury later indicted her in the homicide.

Authorities said Shakespeare, 43, was shot twice in the chest in April 2009 and buried under a concrete slab on a Turkey Creek property, which records showed as being owned by Moore's boyfriend.

Shakespeare's body was found the following January.
