He was indicted on the charges in mid-July 2018 by an Adams County Grand Jury after a six-month investigation. Wiley's accused of shaking the unidentified baby in January 2018. The baby died two days later at a St. Louis hospital.
Wiley's in the Adams County Jail on $5 million bond, and will be in court again July 25th.
