School Stabbing Suspect Trial To Start

The trial for a 20-year-old man who stabbed a police liaison officer at Oshkosh West High School three years ago looks to finally get under way later this month.

Grant Fuhrman is charged with one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the December 2019 stabbing of School Resource Officer Mike Wissink.

The trial, set to start January 23rd, was originally going to start last May, but Furhman’s attorney argued that a deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas shortly after the scheduled date would not allow for the selection of a fair jury for his client.

Attorneys met Wednesday with Winnebago County Court Judge Daniel Bissett, to make final arrangements for the trial, which is expected to last three weeks.
