Immune status in deer killing case sprinkles Vermont ruling
Addison County Superior Judge Franklin S Billings Jr ruled two men Bowen and Sherman immune to prosecution after testifying as state witnesses in the trial of Dr James Ballou Keene New Hampshire. Ballou was acquitted on illegal deer possession after a two day Addison District Court trial with a directed verdict of innocent. Bowen shot an 80 pound doe from a moving truck driven by Sherman in a Granville meadow before the deer season opened. The attorney general had charged Bowen with using a light to shoot an illegal deer from a vehicle and Sherman with driving the truck.
