GOLDEN - A woman found guilty in the drownings of two family pets could spend up to ten years behind bars.
The jury reached its verdict Thursday night in the trial of 38-year-old Delene Madison Hart.
Sheriff's investigators say Hart gave her 14-year-old son and a 19-year-old family friend specific instructions to wrap two cats in separate towels, and hold them under water in a bathtub until they stopped moving.
Officials found the dead cats in the garage. Hart allegedly thought of them as nuisances because they urinated inside her home, and she couldn't afford to feed them.
