A one-time friend of a mother accused of homicide for praying while her daughter died says the mother believed that people get sick because they are sinning.
Althea Wormgoor took the witness stand Tuesday in the second day of the trial of Leilani Neumann. She is charged with second-degree reckless homicide in her daughter Madeline's March 23, 2008, death in rural Weston.
Wormgoor testified that just before the girl died, Neumann put her arms in the air in prayer and praised God for being able to heal diabetes and cancer and make the girl 10 times better in the future.
Wormgoor says Neumann prayed that God was going to show his power in healing the child.
