Vegan couple gets life over baby's death

Malnourished baby was fed soy milk and apple juice, weighed 3 1/2 pounds

ATLANTA - A vegan couple were sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for the death of their malnourished 6-week-old baby boy, who was fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice.

Superior Court Judge L.A. McConnell imposed the mandatory sentences on Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31. Their son, Crown Shakur, weighed just 3 1/2 pounds when he died of starvation on April 25, 2004.
The couple were found guilty May 2 of malice murder, felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty to children. A jury deliberated about seven hours before returning the guilty verdicts.

Defense lawyers said the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to the lifestyle of vegans, who typically use no animal products. They said Sanders and Thomas did not realize the baby, who was born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.

But prosecutors said the couple intentionally neglected their child and refused to take him to the doctor even as the baby’s body wasted away.
“No matter how many times they want to say, ‘We’re vegans, we’re vegetarians,’ that’s not the issue in this case,” said prosecutor Chuck Boring. “The child died because he was not fed. Period.”


Although the life sentences were automatic, Sanders and Thomas begged for leniency before sentencing. Sanders urged the judge to look past his “perception” of the couple.

“I loved my son — and I did not starve him,” she said.

When the judge told the defendants they could ask for a new trial, Thomas hung his head low.

“I’m dying every day in there,” he said, “and that could take three years.”
 
I guess the story is pretty old, but I didn't see a thread on this one yet . . .

your free to eat what ever the **** you want all over the world ..
 
Ha Ha Ha, let them rot in jail where they have to eat hot dogs for the rest of their life.
 
America was founded by meat-eaters FOR meat-eaters to escape prosecution from the tyrannous began dictatorship of great britain (GREAT?? more like CRAP britain am i rite?) and one day george washington karate chopped the king's head off and then shoved a rocket in his severed head and lit it and the explosion of human flesh that followed fed the people for days, and that is why we now celebrate the 4th of july.
 
TOOL may have said it best: 'life feeds on life' . . . which means, eat meat muh-fuakah . . .
 
It should be mandated that they have to eat a 12oz rare steak everyday,for the rest of their term, and then wash it down with a nice cold glass of Moo Juice.
 
nooo.. dont know about the states but in most parts of the world (that is the RICH ***** parts) have choice ..


Not here, we don't give baby killers options.
 
I hate people that starve their kid.

Them being vegans is besides the point
 
Pathetic hippies. They deserve jail time just for being so :o

No, it IS the point. Babies die, it happens, but being a vegan is freaking DISGUSTING!
 
some vegans are okay-the non-peta, non-crazy ones. i totally understand the guilt of eating meat, but i eat organic, cruelty free meat. THat couple was crazy though. THere are ways to raise vegetarian babies while giving them nourishment, these people jsut messed up.
