Jurors hearing the trial of Josie Dikeman on Tuesday heard directly from the defendant.
Dikeman is the Onalaska woman facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide, chronic neglect of a child resulting in death, and repeated physical abuse of a child in connection with the 2023 death of her boyfriend’s six-year-old son, A.J.
Dikeman took the stand in her own defense yesterday, saying that earlier testimony in the trial from other children describing abuse of A.J. had been lies.
