A young man from Two Rivers has been found guilty in the death of his girlfriend’s baby five years ago. Matthew Brown-Edwards, who is now 28 years old, was convicted following a 9-day trial in Manitowoc county Circuit Court. The Charges were first-degree reckless homicide and child abuse recklessly causing great harm. The verdict came in yesterday.
In January of 2018 first responders were called to check on an 8-week-old girl reported to be not breathing and without a pulse. She died two days later of injuries that were reported to be consistent with severe, devastating physical abuse. The injuries included major bleeding in the brain.
Brown-Edwards faces a possible maximum sentence of up to 60 years in prison.
