BRATTLEBORO â Prosecutors dismissed on Wednesday a criminal case that would have restarted Vermontâs yearlong frozen jury trials, with the Windham County Stateâs Attorney saying the decision was made to protect individual rights.

In three lawsuits currently in process, plaintiff parents ask that public funds follow their children to the school of their choice.
The impetus for those suits was the U.S. Supreme Courtâs decision in the landmark case of Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue, announced last June. In that case, the Court held that if the State of Montana provided tax credits for contributions to a nonprofit organization that supported scholarships for students at independent schools, the organization could not exclude students at religious schools. The exclusion rested on the 1889 provision of the state constitution that prohibited direct or indirect use of public funds to support religious bodies.
