An Adams County district judge on Tuesday found 45-year-old James Houseman guilty on 14 of 22 counts of animal cruelty.
Houseman leased a property at 135 Fesser Road and was paid by owners to board the animals, according to SPCA humane officers who said they found a dead horse crudely covered in hay and 21 seriously malnourished horses at the farm on Nov. 16.
One of the seized horses later died from malnourishment and another was euthanized.
