GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Despite repeated attempts to settle the case short of trial, a January trial date was set Monday for Andres Garcia-Saenz, who allegedly stabbed Douglas Campbell 175 times.
Garcia-Saenz, 23, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide. The case has been scheduled for a plea hearing on at least five occasions but no deal has been struck.
Jury selection is scheduled for Jan. 21, with the trial starting on Jan. 24.
According to the criminal complaint, after a March 17, 2020 welfare check police found Campbell’s body and the Trager Street home appeared to have been ransacked.
The investigation led them to Garcia-Saenz. At his residence, they found Campbell’s clothing, credit cards, ID, shoes, and other items. He repeatedly denied any involvement in the murder, and offered varying explanations for his time at Campbell’s home and why he had Campbell’s possessions.
DNA test results show samples likely from both Garcia-Saenz and Campbell on the handle of a bloody hammer found at the scene.
