Trial set in hit-and-run death case in Douglas County
Douglas County Judge Ralph M. King ruled this morning that 19 year old Marvin J. Schaal will stand trial on a felony aggravated vehicular homicide charge with underlying misdemeanors of driving while intoxicated and reckless driving plus a misdemeanor leaving the scene of an accident. The March 1990 death of Christopher Bread in Lawrence was cited as the case's core event. The court denied motions to drop the homicide charge and to dismiss an amended reckless driving count, and postponed the trial to May 18 at 9 a.m. Schaal’s bond was reduced from 15000 to 5000 cash with a 10000 recognizance bond, while he remains jailed.
