A woman who made no effort to feed her four starving children, telling them God would provide for them as they grew weaker and hungrier by the day, was found guilty of child endangerment charges today in a Sussex County courtroom.
lol.the jury of eight women and four men rejected the unusual defense claim that the New York City woman was not responsible for her actions because of her strict religious beliefs and what her lawyer called an extreme reliance on God.
throughout the trial, which began Dec. 1. At one point, when Nicola complained to Superior Court Judge N. Peter Conforti his client was refusing to participate in her defense, Walker passively told the judge, "God will defend me."
lol.
In a separate discussion, she told Conforti she had been directed by prayer to reject a plea bargain that would have allowed her to go free with time served, or the one year she spent in jail before making bail. She now faces up to 10 years in prison for each count
lolololololololololol
