A Chippewa County judge has granted a defense request for a delay in the trial for the 21-year-old man accused of killing three Girl Scouts and a parent last year.  The preliminary hearing for Colten Treu is now scheduled for April 12th.  Prosecutors say he had been huffing chemicals shortly before driving off a highway and hitting the girls who were part of a troop picking up trash.  Nine-year-old Janya Kelley, 10-year-old Autumn Helgeson, 10-year-old Hayle Hickle and her mother, Sara Jo Schneider, were killed November 3rd.  Treu faces 11 charges, including homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.
