So, to elaborate, the Neumann family believes that sickness is caused by sin and can be cured by God and through prayer.  She stated today while on the stand that they didn't take Kara to the doctor because to do so would have been disobedient to what they believe in.  She also said she felt they were in their legal right to pray, and that their family isn't against doctors, but the practice of that kind of medicine isn't biblical.  Leilani was on the stand for 5 hours; the judge actually had to interject at one point and ask her to give more concise answers.  Because she gave such long answers and was up there so long, the judge chose to keep everyone in court until 7 pm.  Family friends and former family friends testified; I was able to watch a bit of it on live streaming for about 30 minutes - pretty neat, though surprised that it was being shown live.  One of the former family friends apparently told the Neumann's on the day Kara died that God created the knowledge that is used to perform medicine - something that many people have commented to say when they hear about this trial.  It's nice to know that someone that close to the situation actually spoke those words, but it's unfortunate that it made no difference.  Another thing that was used as a comparison, in order to convince them to call for help, was that when your car doesn't work, you take it to a mechanic - someone who is trained to fix the car.  Dale Neumann responded to that by saying he's seen people pray over their cars and they run better.

Testimony ended today after the four friends.  The prosecution hopes to have finished calling all their witnesses by the end of Wednesday.
