The kid died from a baseball-sized cyst on her neck that went untreated.  How is that at least not negligent homicide?  Has slak r007 even read the facts of this case?

Dear Emily Harris,

It figures that 12 Clackamas County jurors aquitted the Worthingtons of manslaughter. The area to the southeast of the Portland metro area is the local center of religious fundamentalism. 

Bible literalists are more interested in their notions of the afterlife than anything that happens here on earth.  Letting a child die is just part of their program.

The child died of a baseball-sized cyst on her neck that went untreated.  If that isn't at least negligent homicide, what is?

Thank you,

Matthew Sproul
