CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WRN) — A change of venue request has been denied for the teen accused of killing Lily Peters three years ago.
Court officials said if Carson Peters Berger’s defense team is worried about bias or prejudice in the Chippewa Falls jury pool, they can take care of it through the jury questionnaire process. Meaning the case will stay in Chippewa County.
The 17-year-old is accused of beating, sexually assaulting, and killing Peters three years ago as he was escorting her home following a visit to her aunt’s house, something he told investigators that he had been planning for some time because he wanted to know what it would feel like to take a life.
The case is scheduled for a hearing on June 9th, no trial dates have been set but that could come in early 2026.
