A judge has denied a request for a new trial from a Pennsylvania woman convicted of animal cruelty for selling "gothic kittens" online.Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley upheld the guilty verdict against 35-year-old Holly Crawford on Wednesday.
Crawford was convicted of one count of animal cruelty in February after state police searched her home and seized three kittens with ear, neck and tail piercings. She was sentenced to six months of house arrest.
Crawford's attorney claimed the jury's verdict was inconsistent because she was found guilty of one charge but not the other two. Defense attorney Jeffrey Conrad says he will appeal.
