A fatal crash case remains set for February.
40-year-old Jason D. Hoover is charged in Elkhart County after a pickup truck struck a horse-drawn cart in February, killing two children and the pony.
The Goshen News says two other children were seriously injured.
Authorities allege Hoover was driving while intoxicated.
At a pretrial conference, his attorney said Hoover intended to plead guilty but had questions about paperwork. His trial remains set for February 1.
