Nebraska Humane Society employees quietly rejoiced Wednesday when an Omaha woman was convicted of felony animal neglect.

A Douglas County District Court jury deliberated for about 90 minutes before finding Mashaunda I. Ball guilty of causing a Boston terrier named Bubbles to die of starvation.

Ball, 35, could face up to five years in prison and a $25,000 fine when she is sentenced by Judge Shelly Stratman.

Mark Langan, vice president for field operations at the Humane Society, said Ball adopted Bubbles from the shelter in August.
