The U.S. Marshal's Service has blocked reporter's access to the U.S. District Courthouse in Brattleboro, where Herald reporter Susan Smallheer is attempting to cover the latest Vermont Yankee hearing.
Saying that the press (Smallheer and reporters from the Brattleboro Reformer and VPR) had "accosted" the attorneys for Entergy at the last hearing, Deputy Marshal Terry Martin refused to allow Smallheer into a public area of the courthouse.
Martin refused to say who issued the order or on what authority and refused to let Smallheer speak with the officer.
