MADISON–A Madison man charged with killing two Middleton High School students and a Madison student in a fiery crash last fall, was bound over for trial Jan. 6 on eight felony counts including three counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.
Eric Mehring, 31, waived his right to a preliminary hearing and Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke entered not guilty pleas to all charges in his behalf.
In addition to the three homicide counts, Mehring was charged with three counts of second-degree reckless homicide, and three counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
Each homicide conviction carries maximum penalties of 25 years in prison and 10 years for each recklessly endangering safety conviction.
Mehring’s case was transferred to Circuit Judge Ellen Berz and his $75,000 bail was continued.
