2. She didn't hear the answer to her prayers
God said, "Thank you for the prayers, now take your daughter to the doctor!"

9. They'll get off
The most they will get will be probation because "they have suffered enough".

12. I hope you're wrong, Helen.
This just seems to have crossed a line. I can't imagine sitting in a jury box, listening to what happened and thinking the parents had suffered enough.

6. during the first day of her trial she collapsed
A doctor was called she was evaluated and the trial continued. Medical care was good for her but prayer was good enough for her daughter. What a self serving selfish bitch.

7. Why can't these people get it through their thick-ass heads that, by giving man...
...the ability to learn and reason that he is in fact healing the sick. Or is it that they think only "God" is good enough cure them. How arrogant is that?

11. they should get the death penalty
screw 25 years. Lock them in a cell and dont give them food or water and let them die a slow painful death like their daughter did.


Of course they can pray for food and water and see if it appears

17. Breaking: Leilani Neumann found guilty in Wausau faith-healing homicide case
http://www.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20090522/WDH0101/90522053/1581/WDH01/%3Cb%3EBreaking++%3C/b%3ELeilani+Neumann+found+guilty

Jurors have found Leilani Neumann guilty of causing her daughter’s death by failing to provide medical help for the 11-year-old girl she knew was
seriously ill.

The verdict came after four hours of deliberations.

Jurors heard more than three days of testimony by doctors and Neumann’s
family and friends during her trial on a second-degree reckless homicide
charge. She faces a 25-year prison sentence if convicted.
