BALSAM LAKE - A northwest Wisconsin man convicted of injuring his baby son in 2007 is now facing a homicide charge, after the child died 10 months ago.
30-year-old Kenneth Larson of Balsam Lake is due in Polk County Circuit Court September 24th on his new charge of first-degree reckless homicide. The boy was a month old when his mother took him to a hospital in September of ’07. Larson claimed that the baby rolled off a bed, but a doctor testified that the infant would be severely disabled and could possibly die. The child died last November from complications of a brain injury.
Larson was convicted in 2008 of causing reckless harm by child abuse. He was sentenced to five years in prison at Oshkosh, followed by five more years of extended supervision.
