Iowa Judge weighs murder charges in toddler death case
A Polk County judge weighs removing life support for 2 year old Matthew Schrier after doctors testified he is brain dead. If life support is halted, prosecutors may pursue murder charges against the child's father Richard Schrier who faces a separate first degree sexual assault allegation. The case involves custody disputes and questions about Iowa’s death definition law.
