CONWAY — Former therapist Peter Stone is scheduled to finally go on trial for the alleged sexual abuse of his patient. Again.
But his alleged victim, Bonnie Sitomer, isn’t taking chances that Stone and his legal team will delay the trial again. Sitomer recently hired a lawyer to send a letter to Carroll County Attorney Keith Blair asking for a speedy trial.
