Vegan parents guilty in infant murder
6-week-old died of starvation after being fed diet of soy milk, apple juice

The parents of a baby that died of starvation after being fed a vegan diet have been found guilty of malice murder, felony murder and first degree cruelty to children.

Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, will get an automatic life sentence for the death of their 6-week-old infant, Crown. After being fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice, he weighed only 3 1/2 pounds when he died.

The Fulton County jury deliberated the case for about seven hours.

Prosecutors said it was a chilling case of murder by starvation, a painful and prolonged death. Attorneys representing Sanders and Thomas 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.

The couple's attorneys said they didn't realize their baby, born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.

It took the "parents" 6 wks. to realize this?
Another example of why stupid people shouldn't breed-an automatic life sentence isn't good enough!

You would think a vegan would breastfeed - or is that considered an animal product, too?

Anyway, they must have been underfeeding the child because all a 6 week old eats is milk/formula anyway, so the soy milk shouldn't have been a problem. I'm skeptical of this story.

This is not a case of hating vegans, this is a case of complete stupidity and maliciousness blamed on the vegan lifestyle. I'm by far not a vegan (yum...red meat!). The parents obviously intended to hurt their child...they just found a weak excuse to do it. Lock 'em up and serve them meat and dairy all day!

Right on Vrai!
Most of the soy milk products clearly state-" NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR BABY FORMULA"

The 6-week-old was dead when his parents took him to Piedmont Hospital, across the street from their apartment

in fact, 2 glasses of soy milk/day, over the course of one month, contain enough of the chemical to change the timing of a woman’s menstrual cycle.
