Techotic

Well that’s what the woman herself (along with her lawyers) are trying to convince the jury. Ria Ramkissoo who starved her baby to death after he failed to say “Amen” after meals is trying to convince the jury that it was because she was a member of the 1 Mind Ministries and they brainwashed her into doing it.

The members of the cult believed the baby was a demon and starved him for two days. Then waited for “God” to resurrect little Javon Thompson from the dead. Explain why God would raise a demon from the dead?

I’m no judge so I cannot decide, but it does sound kind of fishy. And seeing that every single criminal act is done under the name of religion these days I would not be surprised. But then again I could be wrong!

For more than a week, police say in charging documents describing the scene, the child’s lifeless body lay in the back room of an apartment. Queen Antoinette, the 40-year-old leader of a group that called itself 1 Mind Ministries, brought in her followers and told them to pray. God, she said, would raise Javon from the dead.

The boy’s mother, 21-year-old Ria Ramkissoon, and four other people authorities say are members of the group face first-degree murder charges in his death. But Ramkissoon’s mother and attorney say that she was brainwashed by a cult and acted only at the group leader’s will.
