NEPBA CRITICAL INCIDENT LAWYERS REPRESENT BRATTLEBORO OFFICER CLEARED OF FATAL SHOOTING.
VT Attorney General Concludes that Brattleboro VT Police Officer Will Not be Prosecuted following a July 18, 2022 shooting.
According to a recent press release from Attorney General Susanne Young and Orange County State’s Attorney Dickson Corbett, a Brattleboro Vermont police officer and two Vermont State Police sergeants will not be charged for a fatal shooting incident that occurred on July 18, 2022. Young and Corbett announced Monday that they have decided not to prosecute Brattleboro Police Officer Ryder Carbone and Vermont State Police Detective Sergeants Jesse Robson and Samuel Truex for charges related to the fatal shooting of Matthew Davis.
Corbett agreed to conduct an independent review of the investigation, after the Windham County State’s Attorney’s Office recused itself. Young and Corbett concluded that the use of force by Officer Carbone and Sergeants Robson and Truex was objectively reasonable and justified and that under the totality of the circumstances during and leading up to the discharge of their firearms, a reasonable officer in the situation … would have concluded that there was no alternative but to use deadly force to prevent the death or serious bodily injury of Sergeants Truex or Robson.
