Defense Asks Why Epping Police Did Not Intervene
May 29, 2008
Defense attorneys pressed an Epping police officer yesterday to admit his department did not intervene in the relationship between Kenneth Countie and Sheila LaBarre, despite LaBarre’s lengthy history of domestic violence.
LaBarre, 49, has admitted to murdering Countie and another boyfriend, Michael Deloge, but is pleading insanity.
Yesterday, Epping police Lt. Michael Wallace said he was well aware of statewide suggested protocols dictating how to intervene in domestic violence situations, but said his department did not do so on several occasions, including an encounter between Epping police and LaBarre and a sickly looking Countie, just days before he died.
