(KNZA)--A St. Joseph man has been found guilty in the death of a child last August.
KQ2-TV reports a Buchanan County judge Wednesday found Roy Miller guilty of abuse of a child resulting in death following a three-day bench trial.
Sentencing was scheduled May 18th.
Miller is charged in the death of 1-year-old Carter Lizar. Prosecutors say he violently shook the child, resulting in brain trauma that led to his death.
The child’s mother, Sasha Lizar, was sentenced in December to 7 years in prison on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities say she used methamphetamine while caring for the child and left him with others who used meth.
