Domestic assault trial begins late after a last-minute plea deal nixed by judge
The two-day jury trial in an aggravated domestic assault case in Bennington was delayed for several hours on Wednesday morning due to multiple factors.Both sides debated the inclusion of prior “bad acts” by the defendant – Bryan Hudson, 51 – a letter sent to the victim right before the trial, and a possible last-minute plea deal that would have ended the trial before it began, only to be rejected by the judge after the victim objected.
