Parents found guilty of causing son's death by taking him to hospital only when he was on verge of death

Jennifer and Jeromie Clark have been released on their own recognizance and will have to return to court in February for their sentencing
UPDATED OCT 19, 2018

Two parents who did not provide their 14-month-old son, John, with the necessary nourishment and only took him to the hospital when he was on the verge of death have been found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and failure to provide the necessaries of life.

According to Calgary Sun, the four-woman, eight-man jury at the Calgary Courts deliberated for several hours on Thursday before returning with the guilty verdict against Jennifer and Jeromie Clark. The jurors ruled that the couple were negligent in not ensuring that the child was properly nourished in the days and weeks before they brought him for treatment at the Alberta Children's Hospital, where he would die less than 24 hours later.
