Seth M. Schnyer, Violent Crime, Vermont 2013

On August 29, 2013, Seth M. Schnyer, a resident of Vermont, was involved in a federal criminal case at the Vermont District Federal Court. Schnyer was charged with violent crime, specifically charges related to a 2012 incident in which he allegedly shot and injured a woman and her teenage daughter in a dispute over a domestic relationship. The charges included assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

A grand jury had indicted Schnyer in August 2013 on these charges. However, the specifics of the case suggest that Schnyer was a domestic abuser, who had a history of violent behavior.

The court case was widely reported in local newspapers in Vermont. The outcome of the case is not explicitly stated here, however a report from the time suggests that Schnyer did plead guilty to a less severe charge of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. However, the exact terms of the plea deal and any sentencing information was not immediately available, and it is unclear how Schnyer's initial charges were resolved. This information could not be found in public records.

The August 2013 indictment in Schnyer's case brought attention to domestic violence issues in Vermont, and highlighted the need for support and resources for victims of domestic abuse.
