The Colorado man who prosecutors say abducted and killed a Vermont man as part of a murder for hire conspiracy has pleaded not guilty to a new charge.
Jerry Banks appeared by video conference Tuesday in Vermont U.S. District Court where he entered the plea to a new indictment charging him with murder for hire that led to the 2018 death of Gregory Davis, of Danville, and a charge of kidnapping.
Prosecutors say the 35-year-old Banks was part of a conspiracy that began when Davis had been threatening to go to the FBI to report he'd been involved in a fraudulent oil deal with another one of the conspirators who is also facing charges in the case.
