In 2010, a jury convicted the Schaibles, who have seven other children, of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment in Kent's death from pneumonia. The Schaibles were sentenced to probation over prison time.
Hurrah for the U.S. legal system. Good thing all those dangerous, non-violent drug offenders are locked up so they can't hurt children.

During their trial, the Schaibles' lawyers said the parents were targeted because their fundamentalist Christian beliefs espouse faith healing.
While this is true, I fail to see how invalidates the charges. When your beliefs lead you along the path of "prayer > medicine," then that seems to me a quite good reason to investigate you for things like this.
