(KNZA)--The bench trial for a St. Joseph man charging with child abuse resulting in death began Monday in a Buchanan County courtroom.
Roy Miller is charged in the death of 1-year-old Carter Lizar last August. He’s accused of violently shaking the child, resulting in brain trauma that led to his death.
The child’s mother, Sasha Lizar, was sentenced to 7 years in prison in December on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities say she used meth while caring for the child and left him with others who used meth.
The St. Joseph News Press reports Miller’s trial is scheduled to last through Thursday. He could face 10 to 30 years, or life in prison, if convicted.

i feel for the child. think he should get the same treatment but twice as hard. sending him to prison will not serve the damage he did to the child
