RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) Trial has begun for a Riverside County couple accused of letting their daughter slip into a deadly diabetic coma in their filthy Cabazon mobile home.
Gregory and Yvonne Latham could face 15 years to life if convicted of second-degree murder in the 2006 death of their daughter.
Prosecutor Burke Strunsky told jurors Tuesday that 17-year-old Nanette Latham spent the last four days of her life starving and in a mental fog, wearing a wet diaper, because her parents didn't call paramedics. They finally called 911 after she stopped breathing.
Defense attorneys argued that the girl's parents had tried their best to care for their daughter and thought she had the flu.
