Attorney General Finds Danpier Trial Scrupulously Protected

Convicted November 23 in St. Johnsbury, he received three to seven years, with max ten. He pleaded nolo contendere to a reduced charge from murder and assault with intent to kill. NAACP urged the probe. Gibson noted arrest rights were explained and a competent attorney assigned.
