A.B. v. S.U., et al., 22-AP-200: The statute of limitations provides the time within which a claim can be brought for a particular type of wrongdoing. This time period is set by the Legislature. In 2019, the Vermont Legislature removed the statute of limitations for claims of childhood sexual abuse under 12 V.S.A. § 522, allowing civil claims to be filed no matter how much time had passed since the alleged acts. Plaintiff A.B. filed suit under § 522 against defendant S.U. alleging abuse that occurred decades prior. These claims would have been beyond the statute of limitations before the 2019 amendment removed the limit. De...

Vermont Supreme Court: State of Vermont v. Mathew S. Hinton, 2019-097
State of Vermont v. Mathew S. Hinton, 2019-097: In September 2018, defendant Mathew Hinton pled guilty to escape from furlough and the trial court subsequently sentenced him as a habitual offender to four to five years in prison. Defendant appealed the sentence. While the appeal was pending, the Legislature amended the statute and decriminalized escaping from furlough. On appeal, defendant seeks to vacate his conviction and sentence on two grounds. First, he argues that the statutory amendment should apply retroactively to him, even though he pled guilty and was sentenced before the amendment went into effect. Second, defendant argues that the trial court abused its discretion because the sentence effectively doubled his prison time and prevented him from obtaining rehabilitative treatment...

In 2019, the Vermont Legislature removed the statute of limitations for claims of childhood sexual abuse under 12 V.S.A. § 522, allowing civil claims to be filed no matter how much time had passed since the alleged acts. Plaintiff A.B. filed suit under § 522 against defendant S.U. alleging abuse that occurred decades prior. These claims would have been beyond the statute of limitations before the 2019 amendment removed the limit. Defendant moved to dismiss the suit, arguing, among other things, that the 2019 amendment to § 522 violated the Vermont Constitution because defendant had a long-held vested right in a statute-of-limitations defense. The trial court denied defendant’s motion. Because the case was not finally decided, defendant sought permission to bring an interlocutory appeal. This Court granted the request to review whether 12 V.S.A. § 522 violates the Vermont Constitution’s certain-remedy provision, contained in Chapter I, Article 4, insofar as § 522 revives civil claims of childhood sexual abuse that were previously time-barred.
10:00 a.m.
State of Vermont v. Larry L. Labrecque, 22-AP-314: On July 23, 2018, the State charged defendant Larry L. Labrecque with three serious sexual-assault charges. Defendant was held without bail pending trial. On May 13, 2022, a jury found defendant guilty of one count of sexual assault. Defendant asked for an acquittal, asserting that his right to a speedy trial was violated by the delay in proceedings. The trial court concluded that defendant’s right to a speedy trial was violated and dismissed the charges against him with prejudice. It determined that the length of delay was presumptively prejudicial, triggering consideration of other applicable factors. It concluded the length of delay weighed against the State, that the sum of delays after being attributed to each party weighed against the State, that defendant consistently asserted his right to a speedy trial, and that the State failed to rebut presumptive, nonparticularized prejudice against defendant caused by the delay. It concluded that all four factors, when balanced together, weighed against the State. The State appeals, arguing that defendant’s speedy trial right was not violated. The State concedes that the length of delay was presumptively prejudicial, triggering consideration of the remaining factors, but challenges the trial court’s conclusions under and balancing of the established factors. On appeal, defendant argues that the trial court correctly determined that his speedy trial right was violated and therefore the charges against him were properly dismissed.
11:00 a.m.
City of Burlington v. Sisters & Brothers Investment Group LLP*, 22-AP-194: In 2004, Sisters & Brothers Investment Group LLP (SBIG) purchased a property in the City of Burlington that was then in use as a gas and service station. The station had eighteen permitted parking spaces, some of which it rented out. When the station shut down in 2017, SBIG began renting out more of the spaces. In 2019, the City issued a notice alleging that SBIG violated the City’s bylaws by changing the use of the property from a gas and service station to a “private parking lot” without zoning approval. The City also claimed that SBIG failed to comply with zoning permits by not obtaining certificates of occupancy. Certificates of occupancy demonstrate that the proposed use of the property conforms to the permit requirements and other conditions provided in the City’s zoning ordinance. The notice also alleged breaches of a 2004 agreement between SBIG’s predecessor and the City that was completed one day before SBIG purchased the property. The Burlington Development Review Board affirmed the notice, and, in an action to enforce the notice, the environmental division upheld the violation and imposed civil penalties.
SBIG appeals on various grounds. SBIG contends that the trial court erred by imposing civil penalties and miscalculated the penalty amounts. SBIG argues that the term “private parking lot” is not defined in the City’s zoning ordinance; thus, there can be no change-of-use violation. Finally, SBIG contends the environmental division could not penalize SBIG for allegedly breaching the 2004 agreement because, among other factors, it was moot and did not form the basis of the Burlington Development Review Board’s decision.

Second, defendant argues that the trial court abused its discretion because the sentence effectively doubled his prison time and prevented him from obtaining rehabilitative treatment. He maintains that the sentence will not deter him or other members of the community from engaging in the conduct again because the conduct is no longer a crime. The State counters that the change in law should not apply to defendant and that the sentence was proper because it was within the statutory range and linked to the seriousness of Mr. Hinton’s repeated criminal behavior.
