Apparently, in court there was other evidence of neglect in addition to the vegan diet. I apologize it this was already linked or posted, but the prosecutor also made the claim that the child had a bed sore from being left to lie in his crib in dirty diaper for too long. So while the press is making it all about the inadequacy of the vegan diet, it was a general neglect case too. Had I been a juror, I might try to believe that you didn’t know how bad off your baby was and that you didn’t know he was starving to death. At the point where there’s a strong general case of neglect of which starvation is a part, I’m going to quit trying.
