GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The woman charged in connection with the death of a Hobart man last year had her preliminary hearing start Wednesday but it didn’t finish.
Online court records indicate that 47-year-old Roni Anderson will return to court for the balance of her preliminary hearing on August 12.
Anderson is charged with felony murder for the June 12, 2015 death of Harold Ambrosius.
According to the criminal complaint, several witnesses and emergency responders told police they pulled up to the fire and saw Anderson kneeling over Ambrosius’ lifeless body in the front yard. Some witnesses told police Anderson wouldn’t let anyone try to help Ambrosius.
One witness told police Anderson was, “incoherent and was wailing.”
The witness called Anderson’s actions, “not genuine and almost as if it was something she thought she needed to do” and that she “never saw any tears.”
However, Anderson told police she believed Ambrosius started the fire on purpose and she felt that he tried to kill her.
She’s also charged with arson for a separate fire at an office building.
