Animal cruelty trial looms for woman linked to Ward Bird
Monday, December 27, 2010
BRENTWOOD (AP) — A 57-year-old woman goes on trial Jan. 10 on charges of keeping 47 dogs in her New Hampshire trailer.
Christine Harris, who now lives in South Carolina, was found guilty in 2008 of five counts of animal cruelty for keeping the animals at her Salem home, but she appealed to Rockingham Superior Court. According to the Eagle-Tribune, the floors, walls and dog crates in her home were covered in animal feces and urine.
Harris drew attention in a separate case in which Ward Bird of Moultonborough man was sentenced to three to six years in prison for waving a gun at her in 2006 when she got lost and arrived on his property asking for directions.
More than 100 state representatives are asking Gov. John Lynch to pardon Bird. Supporters say he was within his rights when she ignored his no-trespassing signs.
