Prosecutors wrap up case in prayer death trialWAUSAU, Wis. (AP) - Prosecutors have finished presenting their case in the trial of a central Wisconsin woman accused of praying instead of seeking medical care for her dying daughter. Forty-one-year-old Leilani Neumann has been charged with second-degree reckless homicide in the March 2008 death of her daughter Madeline from untreated diabetes. The final witness was Dr. Joseph Monaco, a pediatrician who treated Madeline after she was rushed to a Wausau area hospital. Monaco says medical staff spent about 50 minutes trying to revive the girl. She wasn't breathing and her heart had stopped. Monaco says Madeline was emaciated and suffering from out of control diabetes. But he also says the disease could have been easily treated if she'd been brought in earlier.
