Special Prosecutor Steps In for Addison County | Montpelier News

Addison County’s prosecution services are in turmoil as its suspended State’s Attorney, Eva Vekos, faces a law license suspension tied to a drunken driving conviction—and her deputy is set to leave. To keep justice flowing, the Vermont Attorney General has tapped Peter Bevere, Vekos’s own Democratic opponent, as a special prosecutor. Working under the AG’s office, not Vekos, Bevere will handle critical cases like homicides and sexual assaults while the county waits for a new state’s attorney in February. The move ensures uninterrupted service despite a recent budget change that penalizes unlicensed prosecutors—making this temporary fix both urgent and politically charged.
