Judge in Oregon City faith-healing case sentences zealots to jail
A Clackamas County judge brushed aside pleas for leniency Friday and sentenced two members of an Oregon City faith-healing church to 90 days in jail and three years probation for failing to get medical care for their infant daughter.
“Your prayers should complement not compete with proper medical care,” said Clackamas County Circuit Judge Jeffrey S. Jones, in his brief and sternly worded comments.
