A judge’s pending leave could push the Lily Peters murder trial in Chippewa County back til next year.
Judge James Isaacson last week announced that he is taking a leave of absence. He said he hopes to be back in eight to 10 weeks. That will leave just two judges in Chippewa County. Court administrators say there will be delays at the courthouse. That may include Peters’ murder trial. She was killed in April of 2022. The suspect in her death has been sitting in jail ever since.
