WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Court records show a plea and sentencing hearing has been set for a Wausau father accused of 2nd-degree reckless homicide connected with the death of his diabetic son.
Robert Glazner is accused of failing to manage Bryden Glazner’s condition, leading to his death in August of 2017.
The teen was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2014, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint also characterized Glazner as resistant to being educated on how to treat the disease, once telling a nurse that she “had no right to advise him that he needed to attend diabetes education,” only a judge could do that.
The teen’s parents were divorced, and they had shared custody of Bryden.
Glazner will be in court on Friday, February 18th at 1:30 for the hearing. The case had been scheduled to go to trial twice before; in the fall of 2020 and again this month, but those actions were wiped out just before the trial dates.
Second-degree reckless homicide carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
