On Thursday, a jury found Amandria Brunner not guilty on six felony counts in the crash that killed 20-year-old Noah Snyder and 19-year-old Scott Michaud.

The jury received the case around 3 p.m. Wednesday. After deliberations, court resumed Thursday morning with a verdict made just after 1:30 p.m.

According to the Journal Sentinel, members of the Snyder and Michaud family left the courtroom running and weeping when the verdict was revealed.

Brunner faced two counts each of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, homicide by use of a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration and homicide by use of a vehicle involving a controlled substance, three counts for each victim.

The crash happened on Sept. 5, 2025 near 27th and St. Paul.

Prosecutors say Brunner was driving intoxicated and high. Her blood alcohol level was one and a half times the legal limit.

According to the criminal complaint, Brunner was turning left in an intersection when her Ford Ranger collided with a Jeep carrying Snyder, Michaud and four other Marquette students.

Driving straight through the light was former Marquette student Peter McColgan. Data from the Jeep’s Airbag Control Module (ACM) shows McColgan was traveling at more than 20 mph over the speed limit in attempt to beat the yellow light. McColgan was charged last month facing felony charges of homicide.

The jury in Brunner’s case did not hear about those charges.

McColgan was called to the stand without the jury in the room during Brunner’s trial, and invoked his Fifth Amendment right, not answering any questions. He is set to make his initial court appearance on July 16.
