(WFRV) - Nearly five years after his sister's overdose death, a man from Fond du Lac was convicted of homicide. According to Fond du Lac District Attorney Eric Toney, Christopher Hoerth was convicted of First-Degree Reckless Homicide. The conviction comes after a five-day jury trial. The release says the jury deliberated for just over an hour. Hoerth previously pleaded no contest to the homicide charge but ended up withdrawing the plea which led to the trial. The charge and conviction stem from Hoerth's delivery of fentanyl to his sister back on May 6, 2020. His sister ended up dying from fentanyl toxicity. 20-year-old from Neenah injured after rollover crash in Fond du Lac A sentencing date has not been set.
