Eric Bard, 32, faces a second trial after his previous conviction was overturned by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court because the district court judge who presided over the first trial improperly met with the prosecution without a lawyer for the defense present.
An improper meeting between the district attorney and judge resulted in the overturning of Eric Bard's 2015 conviction. Now, instead of facing 50 years in prison for more than 21 charges, he is to serve 28.
