Testimony is scheduled to resume Monday in the trial of a Sterling Heights husband and wife who are charged in the death of their daughter. Eleven-month-old Trinity Murpshy died after swallowing a prescription morphine pill. Prosecutors say the house where 42-year-old Harold Murphy, his 38-year-old wife Kimberly Murphy, and their daughter lived was a pig sty. The girl apparently picked up the pill from the bedroom floor where the couple’s grandmother had been living while being treated for cancer. The grandmother died about two weeks before the infant found the pill. Prosecutors say it was a reckless act because the parents were to supposed to make sure their daughter didn’t go into that room. Kimberly Murphy says her mother probably dropped the pill while she was still alive. Defense attorneys say multiple family members lived in the home and no one knows how the baby got the pill. The parents have been charged with second degree child abuse, a ten year felony.
