A couple accused of letting their 11-year-old daughter die of untreated diabetes have pleaded not guilty to second-degree reckless homicide.
Dale and Leilani Neumann did not speak during their arraignment this morning in Marathon County Circuit Court.
Their attorneys entered not guilty pleas for them.
Authorities say their daughter Kara died of untreated diabetes on Easter.
According to court records, Leilani Neumann has said the family believes healing comes from God, and she never expected her daughter to die.
She and her husband face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
A judge recently ordered biweekly check ups for the Neumanns' three surviving children to make sure they get any needed medical care.
