A Macomb County jury convicted 26-year-old Matthew Siladke on Child Abuse in the First Degree (life felony) Wednesday after a six -week jury trial by Assistant Prosecutors Colleen Worden and Lisa Lozen.

On multiple dates in July 2021, Matthew Siladke injured his five week old baby girl causing multiple injuries including a biparietal skull fracture, over 20 rib fractures, a displaced femur fracture, neck injuries and brain injuries.  

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 23 at 9 a.m. by Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Julie Gatti.
