Faith healing case: Father appeals conviction | News
Carl Worthington has appealed his conviction of criminal mistreatment in the death of his 15-month-old daughter, Ava.
Worthington is a member of Oregon City's Followers of Christ Church, whose members believe in faith healing over modern medicine.
His daughter died in March 2008 of a treatable medical condition and Worthington was sentenced to 60 days in jail and five years probation. However, he was released early for good behavior.
Worthington's wife, Raylene, was acquitted on the same charge and both were acquitted of manslaughter.
