Attorney Raymond M. Hassett recently concluded a two month trial in defense of David Wilcox, owner of
American Crushing & Recycling, LLC. Mr. Wilcox has been charged with Larceny and Insurance Fraud
in connection with a tragic motor vehicle accident at the base of Avon Mountain on July 29, 2005. The
accident resulted in four fatalities and numerous injuries. The recent trial resulted in a hung jury

The trial was the first trial in the State of Connecticut to be televised under a new experimental pilot program.
