The lawyer for a Madison man accused of torturing and starving his teenage daughter has quit the case.

Closing arguments have ended in the case of a Wisconsin man charged with starving and torturing his 16-year-old daughter.

A trial is under way in Dane County for a man accused of locking his emaciated teenage daughter in the basement.

The Madison teen who wasted away to 68 pounds after her parents allegedly locked her in the basement and denied her food will almost certainly have to testify if her father and stepmother stand trial.

The Madison teen who wasted away to 68 pounds after her parents allegedly locked her in the basement and denied her food will almost certainly have to take the stand if her father and stepmother go to trial.

A doctor says a 15-year-old Wisconsin girl who wasted away to 68 pounds after allegedly being denied food weighed 82 pounds as a 9-year-old.

A Wisconsin police video released Tuesday shows a 15-year-old girl in an oversized sweat shirt clutching her stuffed bunny, occasionally dabbing her eyes and softly describing years of alleged abuse and starvation by her parents.

Prosecutors decided Tuesday not to play the video of an emaciated 15-year-old girl who told police that her father and stepmother kept her in a basement for years and starved her, after the judge said during a preliminary hearing for the parents that she had already watched the two-hour video.
