(2,262 posts)"The judge agreed to exclude information about the 1994 death of Wenona Rossiters 7-year-old brother, who passed away after his parents refused to provide medical care for his leukemia.
A Linn County jury convicted her father, Loyd Hays, of criminally negligent homicide in 1996 and a judge sentenced him to five years of probation.
His wife, Christina Hays, was acquitted in the boys death.
The judge ruled that the two children had died of completely different causes, so he didnt see the relevance of the prior case.
Murphy also ruled against allowing evidence of prior instances of her parents denying medical treatment to their daughter."
This judge should disqualify himself for religious bias. Or else he should be simply removed from office.
By the way? Didn't Ms. cbayer just tell us a day or two ago, that no diabetic would ever refuse medical care on religious grounds, because the symptoms were so obvious? Ms. cbayer forgetting that believers are trained to believe through suffering. And even death.
