‘He’s gone through a wave of emotions, from being sad about his situation to being scared, being nervous, being bored at times. but it’s all been a learning experience, ‘ attorney Jaye Rancourt said.

During a trial last year, Labrie was accused of raping a 15-year-old female student at New Hampshire’s elite St. Paul’s School in 2014. The court sent the decision back to that judge, asking him to consider a few factors, including that there is a motion pending for a new trial.
