Judge vacates Bethune conviction in Varughese case prompting new trial
Prosecutors said Bethune and Varughese were intoxicated during a 2014 chase for cocaine when Bethune allegedly caused head injuries leading to Varughese’s disorientation and hypothermia death. The judge vacated the conviction but allowed a new trial, noting possible jury influence from indictment wording. Bethune’s father called it a blessing and awaits the next trial.
