CHIPPEWA FALLS â A Chippewa County judge rejected Colten R. Treu s request Wednesday to withdraw his pleas for causing a crash in November 2018 that killed three Girl Scouts and a mother.
Judge James Isaacson sentenced Colten R. Treu in March 2020 to serve 54 years in prison, after Treu had pleaded no contest to four counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and one count of hit and run, causing great bodily harm.
Treu, 24, of Chippewa Falls filed a request in January to withdraw his pleas in the matter.
Treuâs new attorney is Dennis Schertz of Hudson, who contends that Treu s original attorneys erroneously advised him that he could still appeal his denied request for a change of venue, even after entering a plea.
