Teenager to face second trial in hunting death

The Associated Press is reporting that Collin Viens, 19, of Georgia will be tried for the second time in August in connection with the shooting death of a St. Albans deer hunter during the 2005 deer season.

Viens is accused of shooting Rejean Lussier, 60, while Lussier sat in a farm tractor looking for deer.

The first trial ended with a hung jury last fall. A plea bargain that would have resulted in no jail time for Viens was rejected by the judge in April.
