Atlanta, GAA jury found Lamont Thomas, 31, and Jade Sanders, 27, guilty of malice murder, felony murder and first degree cruelty to children in relation to the death of their 6 week old son, Crown, who had been fed a diet of soy milk and apple juice and who weighed only three and a half pounds when he died of starvation. Thomas and Sanders each face automatic sentences of life in prison.

Vegans Or Baby Killers?This Buckhead newborn didn't stand a chance.
By the time he saw a doctor, the 6-week-old, born at home, was dead. Fed a diet consisting largely of soy milk and apple juice by his vegan parents, the baby boy weighed just 3 1/2 pounds.
Fulton prosecutors say it's a chilling case of murder by starvation, a painful and prolonged death. Attorneys representing parents Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, told jurors the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to their vegan lifestyle. Vegans typically live free of animal products.
"They're not vegans, they're baby killers," Fulton prosecutor Mike Carlson told the jury Tuesday during his closing arguments. "Think about how long they had to listen to his screams and hollers."
Thomas hung his head and appeared to nearly collapse on the defense table during closing arguments, while Sanders sat next to him listening intently. The couple's attorneys claim the parents didn't realize their baby, named Crown, was in danger until minutes before he died.
Jurors began deliberations Tuesday. Prosecutors urged jurors to convict the parents of murder, which carries an automatic life sentence in prison. Defense lawyers told jurors the death is at most a case of involuntary manslaughter, reckless conduct that results in an unintentional death, punishable by up to one year in jail.
Jury Returns Guilty Verdicts In Vegan Baby Death Trial

These individuals were not baby killers. I don't think they were the most informed vegan parents, but I am highly certain they did not intend to starve their child. This is a sad story. Sad for the parents and the child.
Although I am not vegan myself, I know many vegan families with the healthiest children I know. This couple was negligent... bottom line. This had nothing to do with the vegan lifestyle. There are many forms of vegan foods that have more protein and more nutrients then non vegan foods. Any informed person vegan and non vegan alike knows babies need mothers milk or formula... there are many soy based formulas for infants, but I am just assu7ming this couple were too cheap to buy what was best for their child.
This article is quite uplifting, 3 less niggers to worry about : ). Just think... shouldn't this save about 2 lives, $25,000 in theft, 1 prison cell (that would have been used for the kid), and countless tax $ for the savage family's welfare. YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!! :) :) :)
These people were just ill-informed.
I'm sure they had absolutely no intentions of harming their child.
I'm a lifelond Vegan and i'm very healthy.And as for that last comment;.....KILL YOURSELF!KILL YOURSELF NOW!YOU ARE SCUM!YOU ARE FUCKED AND YOU ARE FUCKING US!
