Defense begins in Cassidy assault case in Pine Grove
In a Pine Grove courtroom the defense for Cassidy opened late yesterday denying presence in town during the Thursday afternoon alleged assault on Anna Carlson. Witnesses described two rows of men and a front line, with Anna identifying Cassidy as the man she saw. James Grant testified Cassidy worked at a Middlebury farm that week and slept there nightly. Neagle observed Anna with a young man in Pine Grove but did not confirm the man was Cassidy. The case shifted to testimony from Grant and local police remarks as jurors eyed a possible afternoon verdict.
