The retrial for an over the road trucker charged in the 1990 murder of a Sturdevant teenager in Fond du Lac County is scheduled to start in a couple of weeks. At a hearing Monday afternoon Fond du Lac judge Robert Wirtz agreed to allow testimony from Dennis Brantner’s ex girlfriend. Brantner was charged in the murder of Berit Beck after the state crime lab matched his fingerprints to prints found in Beck’s van. A mistrial was declared in June of 2016 after the jury told the judge it was deadlocked. The four week trial is scheduled to begin February 12.
