Two days after an Oregon jury found a father guilty of a misdemeanor for failing to seek medical treatment in the death of his fifteen month old daughter, a Wisconsin father goes on trial on similar and more serious charges. Dale Neumann faces trial for reckless homicide in the death of his daughter Madeline (Kara) Neumann. He and his wife Leilani failed to seek conventional medical treatment for Kara, relying instead on faith healing. Leilani was convicted of the charges earlier this year and could be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The Oregon couple, Carl and Raylene Worthington, were acquitted of manslaughter charges, but the jury found Carl guilty of the misdemeanor charge.
