Heather Miller Convicted on 4 of 5 Felony Counts in Waukesha Daycare Abuse Case

Sentencing now awaits following a Waukesha County jury's conviction on four felony counts.

Overview

  • Jurors deliberated for more than four hours before finding Miller guilty on three child abuse counts and one count of second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
  • The incidents occurred at the Lawrence School daycare in 2021 and 2022 and involved three children who were each about one year old.
  • Miller was taken into custody immediately after the verdict and faces up to 26 years in prison, with sentencing set for November 7.
  • Prosecutors relied on co-worker testimony, including a reenactment with a doll, while the defense emphasized a lack of video evidence.
  • Miller testified in her own defense, denied the allegations, and was questioned about resigning three days after an unannounced state licensing visit, which she said was coincidental.
