Prosecutor and Defense May Pick Up the Pace in Lily Peters Case

Sunday, November 13th, 2022 -- 8:01 AM

(Mike Leischner, WSAU) After the prosecution complained about the slow-roll of the case against the teen accused of killing Lily Peters, it appears both sides may try to pick up the pace.

Earlier this week the judge set a telephone scheduling conference for January 9th at 8:30 AM, meaning the next tangible action could come sooner than previously thought. Until now the next item on the docket for the case was a series of hearings next August.

A 14 year old boy, who so far has only been identified by his initials, is accused of killing the girl as she was riding her bike home from her aunt's house last spring. Prosecutors say the slow pace of the case is delaying justice for Peters' family.
