A long awaited trial begins today in the case of a seven-year-old Manitowoc County boy found dead after allegedly being buried in a snowbank as punishment.
A jury trial is scheduled for Timothy Howschultz, the great uncle and guardian of the boy.
Howschultz is accused of ordering the punishment, which led to 7-year-old Ethan Howschultz's death in April of 2018.
According to the criminal complaint, the boy was being punished for not adequately knowing 13 Bible verses.
