Bodega beating suspect headed to trial
A trial will be scheduled for the Rochester man accused of attacking an employee at the Bodega in La Crosse.
Joey Burnham pleads ‘not guilty’ in the Christmas weekend confrontation with a brew pub worker who wanted him to wear a face mask in the bar.
The December 26th incident was captured on a security camera, and Burnham was the object of a Crime-Stoppers alert.
Judge Elliott Levine found probable cause to arrange a trial for Burnham. Levine also indicated he would recuse himself from the case, because he’s a customer of the Bodega and knows the victim.
