CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Arguments in the appeal of a woman convicted of housing dozens of filthy and sick Great Danes in her New Hampshire mansion have been rescheduled before the state supreme court.
Christina Fay was sentenced on 17 animal cruelty charges in 2018. A judge ruled she would serve no jail time, but that she would be responsible for paying back nearly $2 million for care of the dogs.
Authorities seized 84 dogs from Fay’s Wolfeboro home. They said the animals were living in filth and suffering from health problems. Fay said she wanted to be the primary U.S. collector of European Great Danes and had been acquiring and breeding them since 2014.
Arguments were scheduled at the state supreme court for Thursday, Jan. 9, but due to a lawyer’s scheduling conflict, they’ve now been rescheduled for Feb. 12.
Fay’s arguments concern privacy rights, barred testimony, and other matters.
