A Wisconsin man accused of killing his 11-year-old daughter by praying
instead of seeking medical care has been found guilty of second-degree
reckless homicide.

Dale Neumann was convicted in the March 23, 2003, death of his daughter,
Madeline, from undiagnosed diabetes. Prosecutors contended he should have
rushed the girl to a hospital because she couldn’t walk, talk, eat or speak.
Instead, Madeline died on the floor of the family’s rural Weston home as
people surrounded her and prayed. Someone called 911 when she stopped
breathing.

Neumann’s 41-year-old wife, Leilani, was convicted on the same charge in
the spring and is scheduled for sentencing Oct. 6. Both face up to 25 years in
prison.

Their case is believed to be the first in Wisconsin involving faith
healing in which someone died and another person was charged with a homicide…

Neumann, who once studied to be a Pentecostal minister, testified Thursday
that he believed God would heal his daughter and he never expected her to die.
God promises in the Bible to heal, he said. ..

Doctors testified that Madeline would have had a good chance of survival
if she received medical care, including insulin and fluids, before she stopped
breathing. They said the 911 call came too late.

Christianity:
The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you
live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and
telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master,
so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is
present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced
by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense.

Shades of what killed Michael Jackson.
