The Granville man accused of killing his father, stepmother and stepbrother is likely to remain in jail until trial.

Brian Crossman Jr., 22, is charged with three counts of murder in the deaths of 46-year-old Brian Crossman Sr.; 41-year-old Erica (Pawlusiak) Crossman; and his 13-year-old stepbrother Colin Taft. The murders took place early on the morning of Sunday, Sept. 15 at the family home on Vermont Route 133 in Pawlet, which is just over the border from Granville.

Crossman was due in court on Wednesday, Oct. 30 for a “weight of the evidence hearing.” However, our media partners at The Post-Star report that Crossman’s attorney has waived the hearing.

Rutland County State’s Attorney Ian Sullivan told the paper that the waiver means that Crossman will remain in jail. Sullivan said Crossman’s defense attorney, Daniel Maguire, reserves the right to reschedule the hearing and seek to be released on bail at a later date.
