BARRE, Vt. (AP) — The prosecutor and the defense attorney in the case of a Vermont woman charged with killing three relatives and a social worker in 2015 are set to discuss the status of the case with a judge.
Jody Herring’s trial is scheduled to start Aug. 1. A court status conference is scheduled for Thursday in Barre.
Herring has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of social worker Lara Sobel; Herring’s cousins Regina Herring and Rhonda Herring; and her aunt Julie Falzarano.
Police say Herring was upset about losing custody of her 9-year-old daughter and believed Sobel had a role in the custody issue and her relatives had reported her to the state.
