Greenfield child death cold case; testimony resumes Friday

Testimony resumed Friday morning, Oct. 18 in the trial of Ronald Schroeder, the man charged with homicide in the death of his infant daughter in 1991.

There was plenty of emotional testimony on Thursday from the mother of the 7-week-old girl who died in 1991. During day three of the trial at the Milwaukee County Courthouse, she says Schroeder put her through years of abuse.

The court heard from Schroeder's ex-wife, who is also the mother of their daughter Catherine.

While on the stand, she told the court how their hopeful relationship quickly turned into years of emotional and physical abuse.

She says he began isolating her from her family, calling her names and even physically abusing her.
