OREGON CITY, Ore. (AP) — A trial is set to begin for an Oregon City couple charged with criminally negligent homicide in the faith-healing death of their 16-year-old son.
Jeff and Marci Beagley are accused of failing to provide adequate medical care for their son, Neil, who died in June 2008 of an untreated urinary tract blockage.
The Beagleys are also the grandparents of a 15-month-old girl who died in 2008 of pneumonia and a blood infection.
The Beagleys’ daughter, Raylene Worthington, was the mother of the little girl. She and her husband were acquitted of manslaughter charges in the child’s death but a jury convicted Carl Brent Worthington of criminal mistreatment.
