Hearing delayed for vegan mom in starvation death of son

A vegan woman convicted of murder in the malnutrition death of her 18-month-old son will have to wait another week to learn her fate

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A vegan woman convicted of murder in the malnutrition death of her young son must wait a bit longer to learn her sentence.

“This child did not eat. He was starved to death over 18 months,” Francine Donnorummo, the special victims unit chief at the Lee County State Attorney’s Office, said during the trial.

The couple had two other children, ages 3 and 5, who also were malnourished, investigators said. A fourth child had been returned to her biological father during an earlier malnutrition case in Virginia, court records show.https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/vegan-florida-mom-faces-sentence-starvation-death-son-88095480
