Drug Conviction For Beck Murderer To Be Reviewed
30 September 2019 News
The Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Thursday as they review the drug conviction involving the 66-year-old Kenosha man convicted of murdering Berit Beck in Fond du Lac County in the summer of 1990. Dennis Brantner was searched at the County Jail when he was booked and oxycondone pills were found in his boot. In July of 2016 he was sentenced to six years and seven months on drug possession and felony bail jumping charges. Last January a Wisconsin appeals court upheld his conviction, but his defense successfully appealed to the Supreme Court asking for a review. In March of 2018 Brantner was sentenced to ten years in prison for the 2nd degree reckless homicide in the death of the 18-year-old Sturtevant woman. That sentence was in addition to any prison term he was already serving at the time. The high court’s decision could take several months.
