Sentencing on Friday for Brenndan M. Pietlukiewicz, 21, of Waterloo, was postponed due to a scheduling conflict.

The delay is due to defense attorney Robert Bas having a Madison County Court court hearing continued to March 13.

On Thursday, Bas filed a motion for a new trial for Pietlukiewicz, claiming was “denied due process” and “was not afforded a fair trial,” according to court documents

That motion and the sentencing hearing have been rescheduled for March 25 at 1 p.m. at the Monroe County Courthouse.

Pietlukiewicz was found guilty in Monroe County Court of four counts – including aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony – related to a Nov. 4, 2025, shooting at a Waterloo movie theater.

During the trial, Bas tried to argue self-defense, although his attempt was hampered by not being able to introduce character evidence against the victim of the shooting.

A Class X felony is punishable by 6-30 years in prison, while a Class 1 felony can produce a sentence of 4-15 years of incarceration.
