New Hampshire’s YDC case ends in mistrial; what happens next

NorthEast News is following a consequential case in New Hampshire’s youth detention system. A judge declared a mistrial in Jeffrey Buskey’s sexual-assault trial after testimony referred to allegations involving other staff. Prosecutors say they will consider whether to try the case again.

A mistrial is not a verdict. The immediate question is whether prosecutors pursue another trial and, if so, how the case proceeds. That distinction matters for readers tracking accountability in a public institution: the court process remains unresolved, and the latest development does not settle the underlying allegations.
