According to the article — Though not presented as any kind of formal motion, the defense also made numerous references to Clackamas County sheriff’s Capt. Bruce Pearson, who, according to witnesses, stumbled and slurred his speech at the scene. Cogan and Neigid said Pearson had admitted to being under the influence of a prescription drug and that he said he had no recollection of being at the scene the following day.

On Monday, Worthington defense attorneys John Neigid and Mark Cogan presented six other instances in Clackamas County in which children died from apparent negligence and their parents were not charged. The attorneys also argued that the Worthingtons were being treated differently because of their religious beliefs.

If you don't take your child to a doctor because you don't think it is serious or because you don't want to spend the money on a doctor you will not be prosecuted. If you don't take your child to a doctor because you believe that prayer is the best way to help your child you will be prosecuted.
