An Australian court convicted the parents of Elizabeth Rose Struhs and several members of their religious sect for manslaughter after they withheld insulin necessary for the girl's Type 1 diabetes. The girl passed away four days after her father stopped administering her medication, as sect members chose to pray rather than seek medical help. Although facing murder charges, the defendants were exonerated due to lack of proof of intent to cause death. The case highlighted the sect's belief in divine healing over medical intervention.
The parents of a diabetic girl were convicted of manslaughter after withholding insulin, attributing their actions to a religious belief in God's healing power.
Jason Struhs and sect leader Brendan Stevens faced murder charges but were acquitted due to insufficient evidence regarding their awareness of the risks.
