Defense rests in faith-healing trial of Timothy, Rebecca Wyland
Another trial among many for the slow murder through faith crowd in Oregon.
The defense rested today in the faith-healing trial of Timothy and Rebecca Wyland after bringing a doctor to the stand who praised the Wylands’ compliance with court-ordered medical care for their infant daughter, Alayna.
Closing arguments, originally expected Tuesday, are now scheduled to begin this afternoon.
The final witness for the defense, Oregon City pediatrician Jo Anne Nielsen, testified this morning that the Wylands were “very compliant” and followed court orders to administer medication and attend medical appointments. “You can tell they really care about their child,” Nielsen said.
