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

Folks, there’s absolutely no need to rattle your magic sticks at the sun gods anymore.  Score one for science and reason. Tragic that a little girl was the victim of this heinous crime of pure stupidity and rejection of reality.

Wis. jury: Father guilty in prayer death case – Crime & courts- msnbc.com.

Dale and Leilani Neumann are charged with second-degree reckless homicide in the 2008 death of their daughter.   Their daughter, Madeline, died at their Wisconsin home on Easter after becoming too weak to speak, eat, drink or walk.

Leilani Neumann, 40, has said the family believes in the Bible, which says healing comes from God, and she never expected her daughter to die as they prayed for her. The parents told investigators the girl had not been to a doctor since she was 3.
