A nearly hour-long hearing on the admissibility of evidence in a convicted sex offender’s sentencing proved fruitless Tuesday when the man asked for and was granted new legal counsel.
Judge John C. Kissinger Jr. ruled after a closed-court session with Richard Waite, 49, of Hinsdale and Waite’s attorney Matthew E. Hill that there’d been “a fundamental breakdown of the attorney-client relationship.”
As a result, Kissinger said a hearing on a pending defense motion could not continue with testimony from Hinsdale Police Chief Todd A. Faulkner and Mark J. Myrdek, a criminal investigator for the state.
Tuesday’s hearing was held in Cheshire County Superior Court in Keene in preparation for Waite’s sentencing Nov.
