MORRISTOWN, Vt. (WCAX) – Another setback will mean a delay in the trial for the man accused in a Morristown stabbing death.
Police say Seth Brunell killed Fern Feather, 29, in April 2022.
According to court documents, Brunell spent several days with Feather and claimed Feather made a sexual advance toward him before attacking him. Brunell claims he then stabbed Feather in self-defense.
However, police say Brunell was not injured and there was no evidence of an attack.
Last summer, Brunell’s attorney removed himself from the case due to a possible conflict of interest.
The trial was scheduled to happen in July, but now expert availability and questions surrounding evidence have pushed the date to either October or November.
