Members of "The Saints" religious group, including Elizabeth Rose Struhs's parents, found guilty of manslaughter in her death from lack of insulin.

Members of an Australian religious group, "The Saints," including Elizabeth Rose Struhs's parents and the group's leader, Brendan Luke Stevens, were found guilty of manslaughter for her death. Elizabeth, an 8-year-old with type-1 diabetes, died after six days without insulin due to the group's belief in divine healing. Initially charged with murder, the 14 defendants, who include Elizabeth's father Jason Richard Struhs, will face sentencing on February 11, potentially facing life in prison. Elizabeth's sister, Jayde, expressed relief over the verdict but criticized the system's failure to protect her sister.
