Faith healing couple acquitted of manslaughter charges! How can this happen?

Faith healing couple acquitted of manslaughter charges! How can this happen?
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that this is insane? Do we live in such a delusional word that this is acceptable? A 15 month old child died because the parents tried to pray her better. She had pneumonia and would have survived if they were to seek medical treatment. Now these parents are free to bread again, and probably kill again. I can't believe the jury came to this decision. It boggles my mind. At the very least these people should be in jail for manslaughter. The father was found guilty of criminal mistreatment. A misdemeanor. A juror said they convicted the father on the criminal mistreatment charge because they felt their should be some repercussion for the child's death. Repercussions for the child's death? Ha! I'm sure he will be put on probation, if that, for a little while and serve no jail time. This angers me to no end. This child was only 15 months old and died for no reason! It's a different story if the parents want to rely on prayer instead of seeing a medical professional, but how are we suppose to protect the children of these nut jobs?
