News » Shooting victim's mother expected to testify
Mar. 8, 2010
The murder trial of a former Appleton firefighter continues today, and the mother of the victim is expected to take the stand.
Scott Schmidt is charged with first-degree intentional homicide for the shooting death of Kelly Wing Schmidt in April of last year. Her mother, Barbara Wing, was also shot, but she survived.
Outagamie County district attorney Carrie Schneider told jurors during opening statements last week that Wing watched as Schmidt shot her daughter in the head.
Schmidt's attorney says his client did kill Wing Schmidt, but he didn't intend to do that when he went to her Grand Chute home, in hopes of working on their marriage. He's asking the jury from Portage County to consider a lesser charge of reckless homicide. |
