Bail decision on Hohman case draws bar president support
Vermont Bar Association President James Brock defended the $30,000 surety bail for accused murderer George J. Hohman of Bennington after his arraignment for the April 8 killing of 15 year old Mary Ann Peterson. Brock argued bail rules require the accused to appear in court and noted the constitution limits denial of bail to capital cases. The article notes public outrage in Bennington, a petition from Mt. Anthony Union High School, and that the trial is not expected for four months in Addison County.
