Why would trials for the warrants not take precedence over this? Could it be... that the warrants were for offenses against CIVILIANS?

I believe your underlying assumption is wrong. There are many, many factors which determine how a defendant might go to trial on one charge before another one. To intimate that the police dog case took priority over "civilian" cases shows a lack of understanding of the Florida legal system.
