Witness Testimony in McConnell Secrecy Case
A 19-year-old Williamstown resident testified in Superior Court that Bruce D. McConnell asked him twice to say nothing about McConnell being with Bonnie Briggs Pearson the night before her body was found. The witness described McConnell as drinking before meeting Pearson on August 19 near the New York Vermont border, and said McConnell discussed secrecy after Pearson’s death became public. The testimony covered August 18 through 21 and highlighted bench conferences over the relevance of questions about sobriety and other visitors.
