California Court of Appeal

In a prosecution of parents for second-degree murder of their daughter by failing to obtain medical treatment for her in the days preceding her death, the judgment of conviction is affirmed, where there was sufficient evidence in the record to support the jury's implied findings that the parents were aware that their failure to obtain medical treatment for their daughter endangered her life, and that they failed to obtain such medical treatment in conscious disregard of that risk.
