(Fox Lake) A new jury trial has been scheduled in Green Lake County court for a Fox Lake man suspected of causing a fatal traffic accident more than three years ago.
During a jury trial in December the lawyer for Carlton Schley Sr. felt his representation was ineffective and the judge granted a motion for a mistrial. Earlier this week a new jury trial was scheduled for five days starting April 29th. The 63-year-old Schley is charged with Second-Degree Reckless Homicide and Second-Degree Reckless Injury.
Charges stemmed from an accident that occurred in July of 2020 at the intersection of County Highway A and Hickory Drive in the town of Mackford. According to the criminal complaint, Schley was operating a John Deere tractor sprayer with booms and failed to stop at a stop sign on Hickory Drive. A Toyota RAV4 driven by a 73-year-old man struck the tractor sprayer killing him and injured the 72-year-old woman who was his passenger.
