Jurors have acquitted a western Wisconsin father of all charges in connection with the death of one of his infant twins early last year.

Paul Marshall, 39, of Hudson was found not guilty Friday by a St. Croix County Circuit Court jury of first-degree reckless homicide and two counts of child abuse stemming from the Feb. 7, 2022, death of 7-week-old Fox and the injuring of his twin sister, Liana.

Messages were left Monday with the District Attorney's Office seeking its reaction to the verdicts.

The Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office found five broken ribs in the boy that were in the healing process and skull fractures that had yet to start healing. "An accidental fall from being held would not cause the injuries [the boy] suffered," the criminal complaint read, citing the autopsy's findings.

Within days of the charges being filed, defense attorney Aaron Nelson was adamant that his client was not responsible for the injuries, and he said Monday that the evidence and testimony during the trial proved him correct.

Nelson said testimony from medical experts for the defense pointed to the injuries more likely being attributed to an illness that causes brittle bones, rather than abuse at hands of Marshall.

"Paul has never hurt his children," Nelson said. "He is a loving caring, peaceful, nonviolent and calm human being."
