Naturopath found guilty of baby's manslaughter
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s935190.htm Last Update: Friday, August 29, 2003. 7:24pm (AEST) Naturopath found guilty of baby's manslaughter A Supreme Court jury has found a naturopath from Port Stephens, near Newcastle, guilty of the manslaughter of 18-day-old baby, Mitchell James Little in 1999. Reginald Fenn, 74, showed little reaction when the jury delivered its guilty verdict in Newcastle this afternoon, after around six hours of deliberations. Baby Mitchell died from a heart condition known as aortic stenosis on September 25, 1999. The Crown accused Fenn of negligently contributing to the infant's death by claiming he had cured the infant by placing him on a Mora machine, then persuading his parents not to go ahead with surgery. Fenn is not expected to be sentenced until later this year. His defence counsel Simon Harben told acting justice Peter Newman his client is suffering health problems and needs to undergo a series of medical tests before sentencing submissions can be made. Outside the court, Mr Harben said it was a tragic case and he was disappointed with the outcome. Fenn has been granted continuing bail. Tsu Dho Nimh -- When businesses invoke the "protection of consumers," it's a lot like politicians invoking morality and children - grab your wallet and/or your kid and run for your life. |
