The trial for Marshawn Giles, accused of killing a child in 2022, commenced yesterday with Giles pleading not guilty to the eighteen charges against him.
Madison Police responded to a 9-1-1 call reporting a man had killed a baby.
Despite efforts to save the 20-month-old child, she succumbed to injuries sustained from blunt force trauma and sexual assault.
Giles was initially taken into custody on child abuse charges from another investigation on the same day and later charged with murder.
The trial is anticipated to last approximately two weeks.
