BARRE, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Attorney General’s office has decided to take over a murder case, replacing a county prosecutor who resigned.
The Times Argus reports Assistant Attorneys General Elizabeth Anderson and Evan Meenan filed a notice last month entering the case to replace former Washington County state’s attorney Scott Williams. Williams, the lead prosecutor, resigned following the 2015 murder of a state social worker.
Jayveon Caballero pleaded not guilty last year to second-degree murder in the 2017 death of 33-year-old Markus Austin. Police say Austin was involved in an altercation with Caballero’s girlfriend outside a bar in Barre before he was shot once in the chest several hours later in Montpelier.
