FORT MYERS, Fla.—A vegan woman convicted of murder in the malnutrition death of her young son must wait a bit longer to learn her sentence.
Sheila O‘Leary, 38, whose family followed a strict vegan diet, was convicted in June on six charges—first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter, child abuse, and two counts of child neglect—in the death of Ezra O’Leary. Her sentencing was postponed on Monday to Aug. 15 in Lee County, Florida.
