OSSIPEE — A Carroll County Superior Court jury on Monday found Christina Fay guilty on all 17 charges at the former Wolfeboro woman's animal cruelty trial.
Fay was charged with neglecting the dozens of Great Danes she owned, withholding water and allowing medical conditions to fester in an atmosphere rife with urine and feces. The dogs have been held in a secret location in the care of The Humane Society of the United States since June, when the dogs were seized in a police raid.
