All in all, this is pretty damn sad.
Some things to take away from it, however:
Note that that's a homeopath saying that he would have taken a serious case to be treated via actual medicine instead of woo.He also told police in an interview the day after Gloria's death he would "definitely" have sought conventional medical treatment for Gloria if he had known how serious her condition was.
Legally, this indicates that we don't recognise homeopathic treatment (on its own) as "appropriate medical care". This is excellent.To find the Sams guilty, the jury had to be satisfied that the couple owed a duty of care to Gloria as their infant child and that they "omitted to obtain appropriate medical care" for her when they returned to Sydney from a trip to India 11 days before she died.
Of course, woo peddlers will cry foul, and claim that "allopathic" conspiracies convinced the jury to make that ruling. /sigh
