NEW JUDGE ASSIGNED TO MURDER CASE

A Rusk County man accused of murder in Chippewa County is having his case dismissed from its current judge. 

Preston Kraft is accused of shooting and killing Robert Petit last May but the only witness was killed as well.  Yesterday the judge on the case was removed after a request by Kraft’s attorneys and a new judge has been assigned.  Kraft was found competent to stand trial in March and he’s charged with first-degree intentional homicide.
