A new trial is to begin for an Alberta couple who used homemade remedies instead of seeking medical help for their toddler who died of bacterial meningitis.

A jury in 2016 found David and Collet Stephan guilty of failing to provide the necessaries of life for 19-month-old Ezekiel.

Court heard the parents treated their son with a tincture of garlic, onion and horseradish added to a smoothie. They believed he had croup, an upper airway infection, and that he seemed to improve at times. The parents eventually called 911 but the boy died after he was transported to a hospital in Calgary.

In January, a Calgary judge refused a request from the couple for $4 million to pay for past and future legal bills and to delay their retrial.

Tactic is to present themselves as victims in some war on natural products. B.S. In reality it's about terrible parenting. Most ppl who use supplements, vitamins, and herbs still know when to get their kid medical help. All goes back to the family business. A whole other story.

Anti vacing murderers

Getting them punished is costing a fortune!

The longer you two child killers stay in jail, the better for everyone else.

What is their defense? Just wondering.
