(Iron Ridge) A weeklong jury trial was added to the court calendar Monday for an Iron Ridge man accused of contributing to a fatal opioid overdose. Timothy Sedlmeier is facing Reckless Homicide charges in the October 2017 death of Samantha Mattila. Sedlmeier says he found the 19-year-old slumped over the bathtub. Heroin that he put in a drawer for himself was missing. The 28-year-old reportedly told investigators that he bought the heroin that she used but did not supply it to her. Toxicology tests later confirmed that Mattila died of the synthetic opioid Fentanyl. If convicted, Sedlmeier is facing a maximum prison sentence of 40 years. The trial is slated to begin on November 30.
