A Killington lawyer convicted of hindering an investigation of a traffic accident has been denied a request for a new trial. Judge Thomas Zonay rejected Melvin Neisner's claim that the jury foreman in his case jeopardized his right to a fair trial by looking up a word. Neisner, a former traffic court judge, was convicted last year of hindering a police investigation and negligent operation of a motor vehicle after leaving the scene of an accident and lying to police.
