A Vermont judge has declared a second mistrial in the case against Franklin County Sheriff John Grismore, who faces simple assault charges for allegedly kicking a restrained detainee in August 2022. The mistrial was announced after jurors reported they could not reach a unanimous verdict. Grismore, who pleaded not guilty, was elected sheriff in November 2022. The prosecution's next steps depend on the wishes of the victim, Jeremy Burrows.
