Tell us what you think in the comment section below. “An Alberta couple has been found guilty of failing to provide their son with the necessaries of life, four years after he died of bacterial meningitis. The parents, whose preference for natural remedies over traditional medicine is said to have caused the child's death, could spend up to five years in jail. David and Collet Stephan were charged a year after their 19-month old son Ezekiel died in March, 2012. The six-week trial concluded on Monday, with the jury, who were instructed by the judge not to make their decisions based on "sympathy, prejudice or fear," wrapping up deliberations in Lethbridge, Alberta in just two days. The Stephans will be back in court on June 13, when a date will be set for their sentencing.” Read more here: https://news.vice.com/article/these-anti-vaccine-parents-found-guilty-in-the-death-of-their-toddler Hosts: Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich Cast: Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich *** The Largest Online News Show in the World.
