"SICKENING"

A VOODOO loving mom who set her six-year-old daughter on fire to rid her of evil spirits in an "unspeakable act of savagery" has been sentenced to 17-years behind bars.
Marie Lauradin sprayed her daughter Frantzcia with rum and then set her alight, permanently scarring her face and leaving life threatening burns over 25 per cent of her body for a ceremony led by Sylvenie Thessier in her New York apartment. She admitted to stripping the child naked and pouring an accelerant over her head and in a circle on the floor  - a voodoo rite known as "loa."

JAMES ARTHUR RAY'S TRIAL MUST CONTINUE: JUDGE

SELP help guru James Arthur Ray will continue to stand trial for the death of three people in an Arizona sweat lodge after a judge refused a bid by his attorneys to cut his manslaughter trial short.  Kirby Brown, James Shore and Liz Neuman all died at his "Spiritual Warrior" retreat and the bestselling author of The Secret is accused of being reckless in their deaths.
Prosecutors say Ray conditioned participants through breathing exercises, sleep deprivation, a 36-hour fast and lectures to ignore their bodies' signs of danger.
And as a result in the huge temperatures in the lodge, they died of dehydration.  But Ray's attorneys argued that prosecutors hadn't proved their case and that Ray had no legal duty to check on participants during the sweat lodge ceremony and they moved for the case to be thrown out of court.

COUNTRY legend Willie Nelson may not have Sweet Memories of his drug bust but after striking a plea deal he can get On The Road Again.
